Police say the driver is also thought to have been injured.
The driver of the Corsa, believed to be a female, has been treated by paramedics and the car was left badly damaged by the collision.
All prisoners were then taken to the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital to be checked over.
The road closure caused queues to the viaduct and although reopened at 5:25pm, delays were still clearing by 6pm.
