Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's wife was killed and he suffered injuries in a two-vehicle crash near the capital Friday that sent their car rolling over three times, officials said. Tsvangirai was traveling to a weekend rally in his home region, south of Harare, when their car sideswiped a truck, said his spokesman, James Maridadi. No other details were immediately available and Tsvangirai's aides refused to elaborate. Maridadi had initially said the injuries to the Tsvangirais and an aide were not life-threatening. Later, two officials from the Movement for Democratic Change party told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity that 50-year-old Susan Tsvangirai was dead and an official statement would come later from the family. President Robert Mugabe paid a condolence visit to the hospital.
