Luckily, nobody was hurt in the making of this... this strange tale.
(Try the YouTube video with the sound on...!)

ROYAL FAIL Ellie Goulding among hero motorists filmed rescuing driver pushed SIDEWAYS by
Royal Mail truck along dual carriageway.

Pop star Ellie Goulding was among hero motorists forced to block a Royal Mail truck as its driver unwittingly
pushed a car sideways along one of London's busiest roads.



Drivers screamed and blasted their horns at the hapless Royal Mail driver, as he forced the Volkswagen hundreds
of yards down the A40 dual carriageway near Perivale, North-West London on Monday morning.

Following the incident Goulding shared images on Instagram and wrote: "I'm the one in the car checking if this guy
was OK - craziest thing I've ever seen on the road. "Everyone was driving past but my driver Guy stopped.
Driver safe and look out for others everyone!!"

The Starry Eyed singer later added: "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 OK."

Loud screeching can be heard from the Volkswagen GTI in footage filmed by a passing motorist and later shared
on social media. After the truck finally stops, one driver can be heard shouting: "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 OK. Miraculously, the driver appears unhurt and walks out of the vehicle.
It has since been revealed the driver of the Volkswagen is Jack Joy, an assistant producer for popular motors
website, Car Throttle.

Alex Kersten, the head of video at Car Throttle, confirmed on Twitter last night:
"To everyone asking, yes, this is Jack from Car Throttle.
"Happened this morning.
"Jack minding his own business in the slow lane, lorry driver failed to look properly
when changing lanes, jack-knifing Jack's GTi and pushing him 0.5 miles down the
road. Jack is shaken but ok."

He added on Instagram: "Jack's Golf GTI is almost certainly a write off - shame after
having spent £300 last week getting the car tip top".
The popular site's YouTube channel has more than 2.6million subscribers.

The Royal Mail truck driver climbs down from his cab and can be heard yelling: “I didn’t see him! I honestly didn’t see
him!” The cameraman argues with the Royal Mail worker as he opens the door of the Volkswagen and the car driver
can be heard saying: “You spun me round.”
The Royal Mail driver then says: “Let’s pull over and I can explain.”

TfL later reporting a traffic jam where it happened close to the Hanger Lane roundabout.
A Royal Mail spokesman told The Sun Online: “We are very concerned about this incident. We sincerely hope that no
one was hurt. We are investigating as a matter of urgency.”

Met Police said officers on a routine patrol had attended the incident, saying: "Officers spoke with both parties.
No arrests were made."...'
