French language wire services are reporting that two-time world marathon champion, Jaouad Gharib, was OK after being involved in a serious car accident in Morocco. The accident took place on Dec. 21, on the road between Meknès and Khénifra where the athlete was driving to visit his family for a holiday. His 4×4 flipped, causing mostly minor injuries.

You can read the story here (in French). Thanks to Carole Fuchs for pointing out the story, and we wish Jaouad a speedy recovery and return to training.
