The accident happened at about 10.20pm on Wednesday (Oct 21) on Jalan Besar towards Bencoolen Street, opposite Jalan Besar Plaza.
Photographs of the aftermath seen by AsiaOne show a van belonging to Newway Air Conditioning crashed into a traffic light. Its front bumper and radiator grill are dislodged and are lying on the footpath.
The impact caused the light to be tilted to a 30- to 40-deg angle, almost falling over.
The car is not seen in the pictures.
In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police stated that a 33-year-old male car driver is now assisting with investigations.
They said that the female pedestrian was taken conscious to hospital.
Meanwhile, the 41-year-old male van driver sustained minor injuries, but he refused to be taken to hospital.
Police investigations are ongoing.
