An Uber driver collected a passenger only to discover he was a long lost friend that he hadn't seen in over 20 years.

In a clip posted on Instagram, the driver, known as Danny, collected his passenger before being asked his name, and whether he recognised who he had picked up.

The pair quickly realised they knew each other and spent the remainder of the journey catching up on old times.
