On Drury Lane next to street map finder pillar

Minutes before this was taken on 8 May at approx 6 pm, I was looking for directions on the street finder. A long Maintenance Highways truck hit the street finder and, myself and another lady, jumped out of the way. Fortunately neither of us were hit. We were shocked the driver had pulled onto the pavement, (facing oncoming traffic) and hit an obstruction in the middle of rush hour. We expressed this to the driver and his mate. But were also shocked to see no emergency action taken, or bollards erected but that the vehicle was apparently pulling away from the scene. Luckily no person was hit but a large, heavy structure was left leaning and a danger to the public. When confronted by the angry lady in the picture, the driver was furious and shouted at her. This driver demonstrated he was not fit to be in charge of such a vehicle on the public highway.
