Police say the driver is also thought to have been injured.
The driver of the Corsa, believed to be a female, was treated by paramedics.
The car was left badly damaged by the collision.
The force helicopter was called in to oversee the transfer of the prisoners as they were moved from the damaged van to another prison van.
All prisoners were then taken to the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital to be checked over.
The road closure caused mile long tailbacks to the viaduct and although reopened at 5:25pm, delays were still clearing by 6pm.
