It is believed that the van skidded in front of the Bishan Ridges Housing Board estate beside Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School.
A 50-year-old motorist who was waiting for the traffic light nearby said he saw the van fly through the air, hitting the roof of a pedestrian crossing, before it crashed into a woman.
Photos shared by SGRV FRONT MAN on Facebook show the heavily damaged van on its side.
Debris from a nearby structure was spotted scattered across the ground.
The motorist then rushed to aid the 47-year-old woman hit by the vehicle. He said she was in tears and her leg was twisted. She also told him that she needed to pick up her employer’s child from school.
The man remarked that if the accident had occurred a little later, when school was out, then the accident could have been far worse.
