A COLOSSAL cargo ship crashed into a man’s front garden, missing his home by mere metres – but it didn’t wake up the snoozing resident.

Johan Helber was sound asleep when a 440ft container ship ran aground just outside his home in a sleepy Norwegian neighbourhood.

Extraordinary photos showed just how close the massive ship came to ploughing straight through Helber’s home.

Stunned locals look up in awe at the humongous vessel which is parked right by their quiet coastline.

Deep sleeper Helber didn’t even budge when the crash occurred.

It dramatically barged right through his front garden at his pad in the Trondheimsfjord off Byneset in Trondheim.

Instead, he was woken up later by a neighbour who rushed round to check if he was okay.

The tired man said: “The doorbell rang at a time when I don’t really like opening the door.

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

He added bluntly: “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].”

Incredible footage showed the moments after the shocking crash.

The ship, which is more than twice the height of the local’s house, is seen docked just outside the Norwegian’s front porch.

A man, who is not confirmed to be Helber himself, is seen walking away casually from the site of the impact.

Local policeman Roger Gustafson said an investigation would be launched to try to find out what exactly caused the huge ship to crash.

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

No injuries or oil spills were reported either, and authorities now plan to remove the ship at high tide.

It comes after footage captured the horrific moment a Mexican Navy ship crashed into the famous Brooklyn Bridge.

The ship snapped all three of its masts as it collided with the New York City landmark leaving two people dead and 19 wounded.

The Cuauhtemoc quickly sailed backward towards the bridge near the Brooklyn side of the East River, when its three masts collided with the bridge, breaking one after the other.
