His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening, but he was taken to Ipswich Hospital by land ambulance accompanied by the air ambulance doctor for further treatment.
Ambulance officer Paul Leech said: “The patient ended up on the downslope of a ditch. He was very lucky really, considering how much worse it could have been.
“We are very grateful to a local farmer who quickly brought along some wooden pallets that made it easier for us to work in the ditch, treat the patient and get him out safely.”
The road was closed in both directions with diversions in place until 10.46am.
