Firefighters used the "jaws of life" to release the driver, described as an elderly man by eyewitnesses.
The car was said to be leaking petrol and the coastguard were reportedly on the scene to help with the clean-up.
Richard Luff, from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service, said two fire engines from Falmouth and the rescue tender from Camborne were called to the incident.
"The crews released one person using crash rescue equipment and made the vehicle safe," he said, adding that the casualty was left in the care of paramedics.
The driver's condition is described as non-life threatening.
