16 days before her future father-in-law would give the go ahead on the assassination of President John F Kennedy [November 6, 1963], Laura Welch, who later became Laura Bush, was speeding in her father's Chevy Impala over 50 mph when she ran a stop sign and collided with a Corvair driven by Michael Dutton Douglas, a 17-year-old classmate from Robert E. Lee High School in Midland, Texas. Michael Douglas was killed in the accident, pronounced dead on arrival (DOA) at the hospital.
