OTTAWA — An Ottawa man was among the tourists killed when a streetcar crashed in Lisbon earlier this month.

Aziz Benharref, a Canadian who lived in the Orleans neighbourhood, was on vacation in Portugal with his wife, Hind Iguernane, when the derailment happened.

A GoFundMe fundraising page says Iguernane suffered multiple serious injuries.

Global Affairs Canada said last week that it was aware of the death of two Canadian citizens in the Lisbon streetcar crash.

A couple from Quebec had been identified earlier as among the 16 people killed in the accident.

Iguernane’s brother, Youness Iguernane, says the family was shocked not to see Benharref identified as a victim of the crash.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 9, 2025.
