Biography
|
Laura Lane Welch Bush (born November 4, 1946) is the wife of U.S. President George W. Bush and is the First Lady of the United States.
Early life
Laura Lane Welch was born in Midland, Texas, the only child of Harold Bruce Welch (1912–1995) and Jenna Louise Hawkins (born 1919). She grew up in Midland and attended the same junior high school as her future husband (she did not know him at the time) and the same high school (Robert E. Lee High School) as Tommy Franks.
Main article: Michael Dutton Douglas
In May 2000, a two-page police report about a car crash that Welch caused when she was 17 was made public. The report revealed that on November 6, 1963, Welch was driving her Chevrolet sedan with one passenger (Judy Dyke, also 17) on a clear night shortly after 8 p.m. when she entered an intersection, failing to observe the stop sign. Welch crashed into a Chevrolet Corvair driven by Michael Dutton Douglas, also 17. Welch and Dykes sustained minor injuries and were treated and released at a nearby hospital; Douglas was thrown from his car and broke his neck. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Midland Memorial Hospital.
The speed at which Welch was driving is not clear; that part of the police report is illegible. However, two biographies of Welch put her as going 55 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour zone. The police report also says that neither driver was under the influence, but no tests were performed. Some accounts put Douglas's father at the scene, traveling immediately behind his son's car. No charges were filed.
