Herefordshire singer Ellie Goulding came to the rescue of a driver whose car was "T-boned" by a Royal Mail lorry on a busy dual carriageway in London.

Video footage circulating on social media shows a Volkswagen FTi being pushed sideways for hundreds of yards down Western Avenue on the A40 by the delivery vehicle.

Other cars can be heard honking their horns to get the attention of the driver.

The lorry driver eventually stops, and drivers shout at him: "What the f*** are you doing man?!"

The driver looks shocked to discover the car in front of his truck and claimed he was unaware it was there.

"I didn't see him, I honestly didn't see him," he shouts in the clip.

He later tells the driver of the car: "Let's pull over and I can explain."

Goulding, 32, told her fans on Instagram that her chauffeur, Guy, was one of the motorists who stopped to help.

She said she also checked on the driver of the car.

"On a side note, 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 okay. What on earth," she wrote on Instagram.

A Royal Mail spokesman said: "We are very concerned about this incident. We sincerely hope that no one was hurt. We are investigating as a matter of urgency."
