Ellie Goulding had a brush with death after her SUV fell through a frozen lake in Norway and she had to swim out of the icy water to escape.

The Wrap noted that the crash happened earlier this month while the 29-year-old singer and her photographer Conor McDonnell were in the vehicle and forced to climb onto the roof to get out of the sinking car alive.

McDonnell figured he just had to share the story and took to Instagram to explain what happened.

“So me and @elliegoulding weren't going to post about this but we decided that it's too mad of a story not to tell,” he wrote.

He went on to explain they were in the “middle of nowhere” in subzero temperatures when the crash occurred. The photo which accompanied the post was of the SUV before it became completely submerged.

Goulding also took to Instagram with the same photo and captioned it, “Throwback to a few weeks ago when myself and @conormcdphoto nearly ended up in a lake in -30... Note to self don't drive a BV206 over a frozen lake.”
