Narrative:
After walking around aircraft and performing prestart checks; chocks were removed and stair truck pulled away by two other mechanics. Engine number 1 was started; then number 2; then contacted ground control for taxi clearance. Taxi was started; brakes were checked; then heard 'thump.' at that point noticed [right-rear] R2-door light was on. Went to R2-door found it half open with two bags of ice on galley floor. Opened door and discovered supply truck on [it's] side with no sign of driver and damage to right-hand horizontal stab leading edge. Contacted supervisor; informed him of situation. Went out emergency exit and down [wing] flaps to find driver picking up cans and holding elbow. Sat him down and discovered supply truck was still running with diesel fuel leaking out.
