Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare deputy Minister Mercy Dinha and her husband, Martin Dinha, escaped unharmed after their vehicle was struck by a small lorry in an alleged drink-driving incident near the Murombedzi turn-off in Zvimba on Monday night.
Advocate Martin Dinha said the couple's vehicle was parked off the road at the Murombedzi–Chinhoyi junction while a pastor was measuring campaign billboards when the collision occurred.
"We thank God that me and Honourable Mai Dinha are all well and fine," Dinha said.
According to Dinha, a small lorry driven by a suspected drunk driver veered off the road and crashed into their parked vehicle with what he described as a heavy impact.
He said they had safely pulled off the road before the collision, but their vehicle sustained extensive damage.
Dinha said the lorry driver suffered a cut to the upper right side of his head, while two young male passengers travelling in the vehicle sustained minor injuries.
"Our car was seriously damaged," he said.
The circumstances surrounding the crash are yet to be officially confirmed, and no further details were immediately available regarding any police investigation or possible charges against the lorry driver.
