British pop singer, Ellie Goulding, who was driving down a road in London, rushed to help the driver of a car involved in an accident as other motorists were busy filming.
The dramatic footage shows a Volkswagen GTi being pushed sideways down a busy road in west London by a Royal Mail delivery. Goulding took to Instagram to criticise other drivers who got out to film the crash and "shout abuse" at the lorry driver.
According to reports in BBC, the truck driver claimed he was oblivious of the car in front, and stopped only when nearby drivers got his attention. The truck driver can be seen yelling in the footage: 'I didn't see him, I honestly didn't see him'.
Goulding, who has 14.4 million Instagram followers, wrote along with the video: "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."

"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 singer later told BBC Radio 1.
The Royal Mail is investigating the incident while the Met Police confirmed there were no reported injuries and no arrests were made.
