City truck insurance accepted second bump? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vancouver

'city' is the definition.
(Vancouver is an example)

'truck insurance accepted second bump?' is the wordplay.
'truck' becomes 'van' (van is a kind of truck).
'insurance' becomes 'cover' (I've seen this before).
'accepted' is an insertion indicator.
'second bump?' becomes 'u' (2nd letter of 'bump').
'cover' enclosing 'u' is 'couver'.
'van'+'couver'='VANCOUVER'

(Other definitions for vancouver that I've seen before include "City of British Columbia" , "Canadian Pacific port" , "English navigator?" , "Canada's chief port" , "Canadian city" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
