Emergency services received a 999 call to initial reports that the man was trapped in the severely damaged Renault.
They were called at 3.37pm but rescuers discovered that the driver was not trapped and after initial checks by paramedics he was taken to hospital with injuries not believed to be serious.
The road, close to Arreton Post Office, remained open after debris was cleared.
