Hit a pole with a goods vehicle (6)
I believe the answer is:
struck
'hit' is the definition.
(strike can mean to hit)
'a pole with a goods vehicle' is the wordplay.
'a pole' becomes 's' (abbreviation for South, as in South Pole).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a goods vehicle' becomes 'truck' (I've seen this before).
's'+'truck'='STRUCK'
(Other definitions for struck that I've seen before include "Thumped" , "Found" , "Hit as by lightning" , "Hit - withheld labour" , "Punched" .)
