Hildur took over leased Audi after predecessor’s car was hit

Heiða Björg Hilmisdóttir’s Hyundai was sold after another vehicle backed into it in March, and her successor as Reykjavik mayor, Hildur Björnsdóttir, took over a leased Audi Q7, mbl.is reported.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 was sold after the accident, which took place away from Reykjavik City Hall, according to information from the city.

The city then leased an Audi Q7 3.0. Heiða used the vehicle until Hildur took office at the end of May, when the SUV became part of the mayor’s role. Vísir was the first to report the accident.

Reykjavik City said it had also considered buying a new car for the mayor.
