Ellie Goulding had some headline-worthy post on Instagram this week as she shared a photo of a half-submerged vehicle on a frozen lake in Norway. The vehicle is said to be hers and would have ended her life as well her photographer's life while on vacation.

In two separate posts, the Starry-eyed singer and her photographer, Conor McDonnell talked about their mishap that happened a few weeks ago.

"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. This photo is from when we were in Norway a few weeks ago - That moment when you're in -25 in the middle of nowhere in Norway in the pitch black and your belt wagon crashes through the ice in the middle of a lake and you have to emergency evacuate through the roof. "Oh shit we're in" was my first though. Second was to take photos. We were in the front cabin. That is pretty much under water in this photo. A few minutes later it was all completely gone under the water and ice for good," McDonnell captioned the pic, as mentioned in The Telegraph.

The photographer also hinted some hesitation in sharing such a scary event but felt the need to publish such a 'mad story to tell.'
