Norwich Road was cordoned off for several hours while officers cleared the street of glass and other debris.
A spokesman for Suffolk police confirmed one person had been arrested following the incident, while ambulance crews treated another for minor injuries.
A witness, who lives in a flat overlooking the junction where the crash happened, said he heard a "big boom" shortly after midnight.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "Last night I woke up and my window was fully open. After midnight, I heard this sound.
"It was a big boom. I could feel everything shaking. I am amazed the driver survived.
"The front of the car was completely smashed. Police were there all night cleaning up glass. After the road was cleared, cars were coming and going by 7am.
"I was worried. I was recording a video with a shaking hand. It was very stressful."
