I suspect in this case there was a human powered cockup since the load was registered as carbolic acid, the old fashioned name for Phenol. If this is the case and the restrited materials list listed Phenol and not carbolic acid then it may have slipped through.

How does that happen then? You can understand it overturning whilst loading, but how does that happen in transit?

The source of the blaze has not yet been identified but French officials confirmed a UK-bound lorry, which is understood to have overturned on the shuttle train, was carrying the chemical phenol, a toxic product used by the pharmaceutical industry.
