The Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service reminded area motorists of some general safety tips in a post they made on Facebook about the collision.
The Facebook post by the fire service said: "The two occupants of the car were fortunate not to have life threatening injuries, and we released the driver who was trapped using hydraulic cutting gear.
"As you can see from the photos the barrier absorbed a huge amount of force from the collision.
