PM injured in car crash
Latvian Prime Minister Ivars Godmanis was injured in a car crash yesterday and taken to hospital, a spokesman said.
Godmanis, 56, became prime minister of the small Baltic state and European Union member on December 20 last year. He leads a four-party coalition which is facing a sharply slowing economy and record high inflation.
