Willowbank Fire Station Senior Station Officer Craig Geddes said the driver was left shaken.
''We assessed whether he was injured and when we determined he wasn't, we put a ladder in position and assisted him to make his own way out of the vehicle.''
Normanby resident Sam Thompson, who lives two houses away from the driver's property, said he heard squealing following the incident.
''One of the other neighbours saw it and came and got us,'' Mr Thompson said.
''Then we started propping up the back wall to try and stop it from falling.''
The driver did not wish to talk to media after the incident.
