A police spokeswoman said the single vehicle crash happened near the Taieri Plain lookout, about 2.45pm.
A witness said he arrived on the scene shortly after the accident and saw the car upside down with its roof collapsed in.
"It's a wonder the driver got out alive," he said.
The driver, the sole occupant of the vehicle, received minor to moderate injuries, the spokeswoman said.
A Hato Hone St John spokesman said an ambulance took one patient to Dunedin Hospital with minor injuries.
The road was closed while the scene was cleared and motorists were asked to take alternative routes.
