A 25-year-old woman was taken to hospital after a car crashed into a pedestrian walkway near Mandarin Gallery on Aug 5.
In a media reply, the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force said they were alerted to the incident, which occurred at the junction of Orchard Road and Grange Road, at about 3.50pm.
The female pedestrian was taken conscious to Raffles Hospital, while a 20-year-old male driver is assisting with police investigations, the authorities added.
Footage of the aftermath of the accident circulating on Instagram shows a grey car on a pedestrian pavement outside the mall. The vehicle appears to have struck a traffic control box, leaving it tilted from the impact.
An ambulance is also visible at the scene, with several paramedics tending to a woman seated on the ground nearby.
A spokesperson for Mandarin Gallery told The Straits Times that the accident occurred on an adjacent state land and it did not result in any damage to its premises.
