The woman was the only person in the car and was transported to St. Francis Hospital, which is right across the street.
After the crash, the road was closed and immediate neighbors were told to evacuate because wires were down.
Neighbors, including Dorothy Barnes, said they heard three explosions and the trees caught fire.
Neighbors reported seeing the driver being fitted with a neck brace.
The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, according to police.
