Carters & Carriers Inc are involved in an accident en route and in desperation call Accidents & Aspirations Ltd to pick up and complete delivery. The rescue truck is five miles away and a price of XDX 10,000 was agreed. However, the rescue truck takes over 2 hours to arrive due to heavy traffic. In the meantime, the dresses have been put in a passing taxi and delivered at a fraction of the cost of using Accidents & Aspirations Ltd. Carters & Carriers Inc say that the contract to collect the dresses is void on the grounds of mistake as neither party would have expected such a short journey to take so long.
