A Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "On arrival crews confirmed that there were two people still within the car.
"Crews stabilised the car using a winch and lines and then extricated both people safely from the car.
"Ambulance crew were in attendance and took care of the occupants."
