I was preparing a consignment of tinned peaches for supermarket delivery when I failed to notice the tail-lift of the delivery truck was not in the down position. I hit it with the corner of the pallet, causing the pallet truck to lurch forward and into the tail-lift. The peaches were smashed against the back of the van and there was some spillage on the floor.
