Netcare 911 paramedics say the motorist drove his vehicle off a parking lot into the Toti River near Kingsway earlier.
Spokesperson Chris Botha says a passerby rushed to the rescue before emergency services arrived.
"He dove into the water and then pulled the driver out to the side where he was treated by paramedics and then taken through to a local hospital where he is receiving treatment for injuries that he has sustained," he said.
Authorities are investigating the accident.
