Bill Clinton is the man you are thinking of.
Before William Jefferson Blythe (aka Bill Clinton) was born his father was killed in a car accident.
To the best of my knowledge no U.S. President ever died of an automobile accident or anything similar. John F Kennedy was shot- while riding in a limousine- but that was a gunshot of an assasin, not an automobile crash.
President Barack Obama was 21 when his father was killed in an automobile accident near his home in Kenya.
The 42nd US President, William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton was the biological son of William Jefferson Blythe, Jr. for whom he was named. But his father had been killed in an auto accident three months before Bill was born. When his mother married Roger Clinton (Sr.) in 1950, Bill took the last name of his adoptive stepfather.
Bill Clinton's father died in a car accident before Clinton was born.
William J. Clinton
that would be William Jefferson Clinton
If you are asking about President Obama, yes he is alive and well and living in the White House. But if you are asking about his father, who had the same name, the answer is no: his father died in an automobile accident in Kenya in 1982.
No, President Obama's dad was killed in a car crash in Kenya in 1982; he was only 46 when he died.
If you are referring to the president, he is still living. If you are referring to his biological father, who had the same name, he died in an automobile accident in late November 1982.
he was killed in a drunk driving accident when he went back to Kenya
Barack Obama's biological father was killed in an automobile accident in Kenya in 1982.
