ZIMBABWE Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai's wife is said to have died in a car accident, according to reports. Tsvangirai is said to be injured but in a stable condition, according to reports from Harare.

The Prime Minister's spokesman James Maridadi told the Zimbabwe Guardian that the car he was travelling in sideswiped a truck along the Harare-Masvingo road near Beatrice. The car was also carrying an aide, he said.

Mrs Tsvangirai is said to have died at the Avenues Clinic in the capital after sustaining multiple fractures, while Tsvangirai is said to be in a stable condition.

The Prime Minister and his wife were on the way to Tsvangirai's hometown of Buhera, south of the capital, when the accident occurred.

MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa told Reuters news agency that 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.

He and his wife Susan, who were married in 1978, had six children.
