This is the moment a car driver finds himself being pushed sideways along one of the busiest roads in London by a Royal Mail truck – as singer Ellie Goulding reveals she
In staggering footage captured yesterday the articulated truck is seen pushing a Volkswagen GTi that is glued to the front of the massive vehicle whilst pointing sideward.
In the dramatic incident, filmed on the Western Ave, A40, London, other vehicles can be seen honking their horns whilst driving alongside the delivery truck in a bid to save the driver trapped inside of the black car.
Cars can be heard sounding their horns to alert the driver to the hatchback hidden beneath the view of his windscreen.
It has also been revealed that Ellie Goulding’s chauffeur Guy was driving alongside the incident in the Range Rover, attempting to get the attention of the trucker.
The vehicles then come screeching to a halt, and immediately fellow motorists are shouting at the truck driver: ‘What the f*** are you doing man?!’
The truck driver then looks out of his window and see the stranded car on his bonnet and throws his hands in the air with disbelief.
The entire carriageway comes to a halt as motorists abandon their vehicles and rush to see if the man in the Volkswagen is okay, which miraculously he is.

With other motorists asking the man if he is ok, which he replies affirmatively and seems to be remarkably calm given the danger he’d just been in.
That is where the video ends, with TfL later reporting a traffic jam where it happened close to the Hanger Lane roundabout.
