Fire crews were on the scene until 1.10pm.
Incident commander Pup Upton said: “Although the car was supported by the hedge, there was a seven-foot drop into a field beside it.
“Therefore, it was necessary for crews to secure the car before freeing the woman via the rear window of the car.”
The driver walked free from the wreckage and escaped with just a small cut to her hand.
No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
