Yes, cement and tipper lorries, and yes, that junction hasn't been changed in any substantial way for decades except for the High Road scheme abutting on it, but that has its own issues. The junction has indirect pedestrian crossings, guard rail, no pedestrian crossing close to the junction on the northbound approach, almost all the lane widths are wrong, etc. It needs a very major scheme. Apart from the junction itself, traffic management in the surrounding area is also utterly rubbish, see Wightman Road and Mayes Road, for instance.
The pictures suggest that the lorry driver may have been turning left from Westbury Avenue into Green Lanes (south).

I saw the aftermath of this, looked grim without knowing the full details. Seems to be a lot of accidents at that junction.

It does feel like cement lorries are involved in a lot of accidents.
