Car crashes on Bondi Beach

A car has veered off the road and onto Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach with emergency services saying it's lucky that no one was hit.

Police say the car crashed through a barrier on Campbell Parade and knocked over some tables before it headed towards the water at about 2pm (AEDT) on Tuesday.

The car's 90-year-old driver was taken to hospital with chest injuries and is in a stable condition.

Crash investigators are looking into the incident.

"It's lucky it was a wet day and there weren't a lot of people on the beach," a police spokesman told AAP.
