Luckily there were no cyclists on the cycle path at the time. Hopefully the driver will be charged with careless driving.

When are these lorry drivers going to learn? How many times to they tip over due ONLY to the fact that they are taking the turn FAR too fast? It's a miracle no-one else was hurt. This driver should have his licence removed until he has further training.
