Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and his wife Susan have been involved in a car crash which has left her badly hurt, party sources say.
Mr Tsvangirai is said to be lightly injured. The accident is said to have happened on a road south of Harare.
Mr Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party, formed a unity government with President Robert Mugabe last month.
The two had been long-time rivals before agreeing a power-sharing deal.
MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa told Reuters news agency that Mr Tsvangirai was not in a critical condition.
“We have just heard that there was an accident of sorts involving the president of the party. Injuries, yes, but not critical condition, we are still assessing the actual condition,” he said.
In a development, we have just heard devastating news that Morgan Tsvangirai’s wife, Susan, has died from her injuries sustained in a car accident this afternoon.
Foul play is suspected. We’re now hearing that the tyre blew out, that the axel was faulty. It’s very unclear at the moment, but foul play is supected.
We’re all in a state of shock. Our hearts go out to Morgan Tsvangirai at this time.
