Crossword Genius

Hit second lorry (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

struck

'hit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'second lorry' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'lorry' becomes 'truck' (I've seen this before).
's'+'truck'='STRUCK'

(Other definitions for struck that I've seen before include "Punched" , "Impressed with, as by blow?" , "Walloped" , "hit hard" , "Female relative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
