The 78-year-old is understood to have leant into the car outside a house in Cornwall when it lurched forward, trapping her arm.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "What appears to have happened is that she leant into the car to close the electric windows.
"She turned on the ignition to get the power for the electric windows, but unfortunately the car was in gear and lurched forward - trapping her hand or arm.
"In the process of doing that, it has taken her arm off."
