The truck turned left onto Makuahine when the light turned green and struck the woman who was attempting to cross Makuahine from west to east in a marked crosswalk when the collision occurred.
The pedestrian was taken to The Queen's Medical Center in critical condition.
Police said speeding and the use of alcohol do not appear to be factors in the case.
