Laura Bush's Vehicular Homicide

[barbeml]

Does anyone have a link to the details about this incident? I know she apparently ran someone down and killed him accidentally with her car when she was younger, but was never charged or prosecuted in any way. Does anyone know the whole story?

I vaguely remember hearing something about this- no details though sorry.

There is an article in a Reader's Digest about her and they mention the car accident. I don't know what issue it is....but it was within the last year. It was a story about her.

I don't think she hit a pedestrian, but I think she hit another car...she was only about 20 and not drunk or anything, just careless. It was in the mid 70s I think.

No, I am pretty sure she killed someone--tragically, someone she knew.

"In the fall of 1963, Laura narrowly averted a life of pointless obscurity, when she ran a stop sign and collided with another vehicle, inflicting a fatal neck fracture on Mike Douglas, a then-serious boyfriend not genetically affiliated with a burgeoning political dynasty."
