That London overturning.
The vehicle would be approaching from the south (York Road), and, presumably intending to exit to the north east (Stamford Street).
Here are some Google StreetView images:-

Here's where he came from (there was, apparently, only the driver onboard):-

You can probably follow the route to the overturn . . .
The driver was the only person on board the vehicle. He was taken to St Thomas' Hospital but is not thought to be seriously injured.

Start here for the 'final' corner(s):-

Click on the broad white arrow to follow the route.
