Lars Lerin injured in fall accident
On Monday, Lars Lerin was injured in a fall accident while playing with his children: the sons Raphael and Gabriel and the twin daughters Iris and Gerda.
– I was playing with the children out here on the veranda and fell backwards and hit my neck and tailbone and then I broke a hand, at the wrist, Lerin tells Nya Wermlandstidningen.
The following day he had to undergo emergency surgery and he now wears a cast on his hand and wrist.
– I could actually have killed myself too, if I had gotten a little more crooked with my neck, because I pulled myself backwards like that. There was drama here, says Lerin to the newspaper.
