TMZ.com reports:
BRET MICHAELS is temporarily pulling the plug on his upcoming reality show Rock Of Love Bus to reach out to the families of two women killed in a car accident caused by a "Rock" roadie.
In a statement issued by his people at VH1, Michaels has "requested that his participation in the production ... be temporarily suspended" as he tries to "reach out" to the families of teenagers Yasmin Jackson and Kevetta Davis. They were killed Friday on I-57 in Illinois when Dennis Hernandez, a crew member from the "Rock" production outfit, fell asleep at the wheel of a truck, crossed the median and hit two cars. Dennis was on his way to the next "Rock of Love" shooting location. He was charged for the crash.
Reps for VH1 stress Hernandez wasn't an "associate of Bret Michaels or part of his tour staff."
