Injured leader leaves hospital after crash
Zimbabwean prime minister Morgan Tsvangirai today left the hospital where he was treated after a car crash that killed his wife.
Associated Press reporters saw the former opposition leader leaving today with a baseball cap pulled over his bandaged head.
Dr Douglas Gwatidzo, head of casualty at the hospital, said the prime minister had head injuries and chest pains.
State television showed pictures of Mr Tsvangirai in a neck brace, which Dr Gwatidzo said was being used to keep him comfortable.
Mr Tsvangirai was travelling to a weekend rally yesterday in his home region, south of Harare, when his car and a lorry collided.
The US Embassy said that the truck involved in the crash was transporting Aids medicine donated by the US government.
It was driven by a Zimbabwean contractor.
