A new father in Norway narrowly avoided tragedy when a ceiling panel fell and struck him, just moments after he could have hit his baby, according to reports.
The incident occurred recently, and whereas details remain limited, the father was reportedly struck by the falling panel inside his home. The close call prompted immediate concern for the safety of his infant child.
“It could have hit the baby,” a source close to the family stated.
The incident underscores the potential dangers of undetected structural issues in homes and the importance of regular maintenance. Authorities have not yet released information regarding the cause of the ceiling panel’s failure or whether any investigation is underway.
In 2011, the Norwegian action thriller Headhunters, based on the novel by Jo Nesbø, was released to critical acclaim and became the highest-grossing Norwegian film in history.
