What a horrible thing to happen and I hope they both recover soon. it is worth everybody remembering that a lorry test is only a mechanical check and that you should check your ramp and box safety yourself, or get a professional to do it for you

I wouldn't use that company to MOT a lorry again!

Hope you're all okay!

Sophos, the lorry floor and ramp form no part of the MOT - they don't even look at it unless being paid extra to do a service or safety check. Not their responsibility but there does appear to be some kind of misconception that these will be checked
 
Crikey what a shock for you all. Thank goodness everyone is ok - there is a lesson there for all of us so thank you for posting this!
Hope your mum isn't too sore tomorrow!
