Used to live about a mile from there.
The Waitrose is on a hill, meaning that the car park is at the lower side, at shop entrance level, while the loading bay is a good 20 feet higher round the back, at first floor level. If the truck reversed off to the right in the loading bay and went back a little bit too far it could well have fallen straight into the car park.

On second thoughts, just looked at the BBC Kent websiteand they say the accident happened on Ash Road, Hartley which is about 1/2 mile away from there. There is a sharp S bend on on a steep downhill that catches out many drivers, and if the lorry overturned here it could very easily crush a vehicle coming the other way.
Van driver killed, lorry driver injured........
