The back of the rigid was hit with enough force to drag the rear end fifteen feet, rip one door hinge clean off, tear all four hinges on tother door and push the back of the box across two inches :o

Rigid was aiming to park on the offside of the Daily Fresh truck, initial impact was between the nearside rear corner of the rigid and about four feet from the front of the trailer.

The only thing I will say is that I wasn't driving the artic :-X
