Passengers finally emerging from hit vehicle (5)
I believe the answer is:
truck
'vehicle' is the definition.
(I know that truck is a type of automotive vehicle)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for truck that I've seen before include "Freight vehicle" , "Exchange" , "trade" , "Goods vehicle" , "commercial vehicle" .)
