Wilkinson's, later Lex Wilkinson's, the parcels carrier, that collected from where I worked in the early 80's had something similar happen to one of their Ford D series vans. Except, the tractor had a bucket, not a hedge trimmer. He had pulled up to the STOP/GIVE WAY line, with the arms raised but, although the bucket was high enough for cars etc., it wasn't high enough to lear a 13/16t. box body. The truck driver had seen the tractor but, not the bucket. CRUNCH!!!!!!
