Ellie Goulding Helps Out

Ellie Goulding has confirmed that she was among those to check on a motorist whose car was dramatically pushed sideways down a busy road in west London by a Royal Mail truck.

The 32-year-old star shared a photo of the incident and confirmed that she was in the footage which began circulating on social media.

In the video shared online on Monday, a black Volkswagen is seen being shunted down the A40 by the delivery vehicle. When the truck driver finally stops, he can be heard yelling: “I honestly didn’t see him. I didn’t see him.”

Goulding said the incident was the “craziest thing I’ve ever seen on the road.” “I can’t believe the first instinct of the other drivers who got out was to instantly start filming on their phones and shout abuse at the poor shocked driver, not even checking the other driver was ok. What on earth,” she told her 14.4 million followers via her Instagram Stories.

Goulding told BBC Radio 1 she intervened because “no-one was stopping.” She said: “I think people were desperate to get to work. All these people were just driving on. We just drove up right next to it [the lorry] to be like ‘Mate, you’ve got a car on you’!” The driver of the car later messaged the singer “to just say he was OK,” she added.
