The wife of Zimbabwe Prime Minister and MDC President, Morgan Tsvangirai, was killed in a head-on car crash near Harare today.

Mr Tsvangirai was injured but not critically in the crash that killed Susan.
The Prime Minister's car collided with a lorry. He was taken to the Avenues Clinic in the capital. The Premier’s driver of his car was seriously hurt.

There was no word on the condition of the lorry driver.
Susan was seated behind the driver of their personal Toyota Land Cruiser when a haulage truck encroached onto their lane. Their driver swerved and the truck crushed the right hand side of the vehicle, behind the driver forcing it to veer off the road and roll three times.

Susan survived the initial impact and when she was pulled out of the vehicle she was talking, but clearly in great pain. She then lost consciousness on the way to Harare’s Avenues Clinic, where she was pronounced dead on arrival. Initial reports suggest she might have broken her back and suffered multiple leg fractures.

The collision happened when the couple were travelling to Buhera, Tsvangirai’s rural home area where he was due to address a rally on Saturday. The MDC’s secretary-general, Tendai Biti, was one of the party’s senior officials who visited the scene of the accident.

A policeman who attended the scene said that Tsvangirai sustained head injuries but was looking lucid and talking to rescuers who pulled them out of the truck. Tsvangirai was bleeding from head wounds, while the driver and their aide suffered minor injuries.

At the Avenues clinic, Tsvangirai had X-rays which showed that he had minor head injuries. He has suffered whiplash and the full extent of his injuries is being assessed.

The tragic accident has brought an abrupt end to Susan and Morgan Tsvangirai’s marriage of 31 years which was blessed with six children.
