Police said Cheryl Webb, 39, was rescued Friday afternoon after a pedestrian spotted her vehicle along West Fourth Street near Mayberry Avenue.
The car was on its roof and was not visible to traffic on the street.
Investigators said Webb was westbound on West Fourth Street when her car left the roadway, crashed through a metal guardrail and went airborne into the ditch.
Webb was taken to Washoe Medical Center, where she was treated for a broken ankle as well as cuts and bruises.
An investigation is under way. Police said it was unknown whether alcohol may have been a factor.
