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*ck 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.

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.

It is not yet known if police were called or the driver suffered any injuries.

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.”
