Tsvangirai's wife killed in crash with USAID vehicle
Tsvangirai and his wife Susan, 50, were travelling from Harare to Buhera, their rural hometown where the new prime minister was due to speak at a rally on Saturday. His wife died at the scene of the crash. Police on Friday said Tsvangirai's car collided with a truck which crossed into the oncoming lane and side-swiped the prime minister's vehicle, causing it to roll several times. More details of the truck emerged on Saturday, with a US embassy official in Harare saying it belonged to a US aid agency "partner" for AIDS drug delivery. ABC News in the United States cited unnamed US officials as saying the truck belonged to a contractor working for the US and British governments. The truck, which had a USAID insignia on it, was purchased by US government funds and its driver was hired by a British development agency, the report said. Posted by: Nimble Spemble 2009-03-08 |
