Checked twitter for anything when I got in to work and could only see a couple of people talking about it. Was suggested on there that the lorry was trying to make a u-turn at the lights and just took one out instead. Not sure if that's just complete speculation though.

Can't stop thinking about this, it's baffling
Current best guess is that they came out of Robsart Street, ignoring the no right turn there, aiming down Loughborough but made Oliver's left/right mistake and pulled onto the wrong carriageway then either panicked or just biffed the left turn and ran wide and got stuck
In any event that's some serious lack of attention/experience/ability to be driving a vehicle that big in that kind of environment

Also passed this (on foot) this morning.
Police were in the middle of a multi-million point turn to try to get it back on one side of the road or the other
I absolutely cannot get my head around how they could have got into that position in the first place though (either they were heading towards Brixton on the wrong side of the road or decided that junction was a decent spot to try to turn around, both of which are utterly bonkers)
