The accident occurred about 4.10pm Saturday at the intersection of Sturt and Armstrong Streets, with a silver utility colliding with a black Mazda which then crashed into a traffic light.
All emergency services, including police, ambulance, SES and CFA were at the scene and traffic is being diverted away from the area.
The intersection was temporarily blocked on the Town Hall side of Sturt Street, impacting traffic heading west.
Leading Senior Constable Jackie Loveday said it appeared that one car had failed to give way when turning right and crashed into the other car, causing it to take out the light.
She said there was no speed or impairment involved with any driver and it simply appeared that one car had failed to give way.
Paramedics assessed a woman, believed to be the driver of the Mazda at the scene but she was not transported to hospital, while the driver of the utility was also uninjured.
