Car overturns as couple exchange blows

A couple is lucky to be alive after their car overturned as they fought. The Toyota Vitz veered off the road and overturned several times before landing on its roof near Masvingo Polytechnic College when the driver left go of the wheel to fight with the missus.

The wife said she was furious when her husband accused her of having an affair. "He (husband) came to town where I sell airtime and told me to get in the car saying he wanted to discuss something. When I got in, he started driving off the place punching me all over with one hand on the handle saying unodanana nabamunini vako (you are having an affair with my young brother), and it is funny that the boy being referred to is young enough to be my son.

"I then held his hand trying to save myself and that was when the vehicle veered off the road and overturned. It is a lie that I wanted the car to crash into an oncoming truck," she said.

The husband said his wife wanted to commit suicide.

"We had a misunderstanding at home and I thought itwas over. I was shocked when she pushed me off the handle turning the car
sideways. All she is telling the people now is not true," he said.
