Three fire crews from Lowestoft South and appliances from Gorleston and Beccles were sent to the major incident on the outskirts of Beccles at shortly after 5pm.
Members of the public making 999 calls alerted emergency crews that a vehicle had ended up in the water and that someone was trapped inside.
The Norfolk Fire Service water rescue unit was sent from Great Yarmouth, which was near boatyards on the River Waveney, close to the narrow Beccles bridge.
