    Seriously deep sleeper not woken up by ship crashing in his garden

    A cargo ship has crashed into a man’s front garden in Norway, missing his home, where he was sleeping, by just a few metres.

    Johan Helber had been sound asleep when a 135m long container ship ran aground Thursday morning in the Trondheimsfjord off Byneset in Trondheim.

    No injuries or oil spills have been reported and authorities plan to remove the ship at high tide.

    Pictures show how close the huge ship came to splintering through Mr Helber’s home.

    However, he didn’t wake during the incident, and instead, was only later woken up when a neighbour rushed round to check if he was okay.

    “The doorbell rang at a time when I don’t really like opening the door,” Mr Helber said.

    He went on: “I like to go back to sleep. But it was a very insistent ring, so I finally went to answer it.

    “And there’s a guy I know very well standing there, looking at me in amazement and saying: ‘Have you not seen the ship?’

    “But I hadn’t. So I went to the window and saw this [the ship].”

    Roger Gustafson, from the local police force, said an investigation would be launched to try to find out what happened.

    He added there was currently no suspicion of anyone being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
