This made me laugh

This is from a Rail Accident Investigation Branch report about an accident in Leicestershire (no-one seriously hurt) when a tipper lorry knocked down part of a footbridge on to the tracks and a train was derailed:

"The causal factor was that the lorry driver forgot to fully lower the body of the lorry
because he was distracted from his normal routine by having to unlock the cab passenger
door to allow access for the controller of site safety (COSS)."
