Husband of woman killed in gas and dash incident dies in car crash
CALGARY — A family that came to Canada from Iran to start a new life has been struck by a second devastating tragedy.
Ahmad Nourani Shallo died in a crash last week while driving to Calgary to mark the second anniversary of the death of his wife, Mariam Rashidi, who was killed trying to stop a gasoline thief.
Shallo was travelling from Vancouver with his new wife and his seven-year-old son when the accident happened on the Trans Canada Highway in British Columbia.
A family friend told CTV News the boy was in the back seat and wasn’t hurt, however, the woman suffered serious injuries that required surgery.
