HARARE, Zimbabwe: Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's wife, Susan, was killed Friday in a car wreck that left him injured as well, according to senior officials with his party.
Tsvangirai's aide and driver also were injured in the head-on collision with a large truck, according to Tsvangirai's spokesman, James Maridadi.
Movement for Democratic Change spokesman Nelson Chamisa told CNN that he spoke to Tsvangirai at the hospital, and the party leader was in a "relatively stable" condition.
But, he added, "We are still trying to examine the extent of the impact of
this tragedy in terms of human life." Chamisa would neither confirm nor deny reports from other MDC officials that Susan Tsvangirai died in the wreck, which he described as "very serious."The four crash victims were taken to an undisclosed hospital in Harare, Maridadi said. Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is reported to have visited his political rival Friday at the hospital.
The collision happened on the Harare-Masvingo Road as Tsvangirai and his wife headed to his hometown of Buhera, south of the capital, Harare, his spokesman said.
