The street was closed for more than 45 minutes amid fears that cylinders in the van, being used by road resurfacers, could explode.
A spokesman for Clacton fire station said the woman passenger, in her mid-50s, suffered slight injuries to her chest from the seatbelt.
The spokesman believed the trailer had become unhooked from the van and veered into the path of the oncoming vehicle.
Anyone with information about the incident, at 11.40am yesterday, should call PC Darren Lee at Stanway road policing unit on 01206 762512.
