HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) -- Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's wife, Susan, was killed Friday in a car wreck that left him with serious injuries, 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. The extent of their injuries was not clear.

Tsvangirai, Zimbabwe's main opposition leader, took office last month under a power-sharing deal with President Robert Mugabe following a contentious election. More than 200 deaths, mainly those of opposition supporters, were reported leading up to and in the aftermath of the election.


For some reason, I'm not sure I believe that was an accident.

It's possible it was an accident - the roads in Zimbabwe are horrifically bad - but this is far too convenient an accident for me to believe it really is one.

His party don't think it's suspicious (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/mar/06/tsvangirai-wife-susan-dies-crash), or at least that's what they're saying in public...
