“The community in Seyðisfjörður— and indeed across East Iceland — is devastated after the tragedy, the fatal accident that occurred on Fjarðarheiði,” says Reverend ÞorgeirArason, parish priest of the Egilsstaðir parish, in an interview with mbl.is. Local residents are mourning following the death of Jón Ármann Jónsson, an 87-year-old Seyðisfjörður resident, who died in the accident.
