An elderly man is in hospital after his car ran off the road, along a footpath, through a park and landed on Bondi Beach this afternoon.

Emergency services were called to the southern end of Bondi Beach about 1.30pm today (Tuesday 4 February 2014) responding to reports a man was unconscious within the sedan.

NSW Ambulance Paramedics treated the 90-year-old driver at the scene before taking him to St Vincent’s Hospital.

Police have been told the Pulsar sedan was being driven along Lamrock Avenue when it veered across to the western footpath in Campbell Parade and travelled about 20m along the footpath, hitting chairs and tables outside a café.

The vehicle then hit several street signs before crossing Campbell Parade onto the eastern footpath where it then travelled about 60m down an embankment in Bondi Park before continuing through a barrier onto the promenade, then onto the sand.
