Driving in Africa can be dodgy in the best of times so anything is possible. The fact that Morgan Tsvangirai has only started as PM in a shared government with Robert Mugabe does raise some suspicions.
Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's wife, Susan, was killed in a car wreck, senior officials with his party told CNN Friday.
Tsvangirai was injured along with an aide and the car's driver in the head-on collision with a large truck, according to Tsvangirai's spokesman, James Maridadi.
The extent of their injuries is not clear.
"Yes I can confirm that he was involved in a car accident along Harare-Masvingo road," Maridadi said.
"He has been brought to Harare and doctors are looking at him at a hospital."
Maridadi would not say how serious Tsvangirai's injuries are as a result of the head-on collision. Tsvangirai was in the car with his wife, an aide, and the driver, he said.
They were en route to Tsvangirai's hometown of Buhera, south of the capital, Harare, when the accident occurred, Maridadi said.
Tsvangirai, Zimbabwe's main opposition leader, took office last month under a power-sharing deal with President Robert Mugabe.
