A teenager is in an induced coma with a fractured skull after falling off the boot of a car driven by his friend in Sydney's east, police say.

A group of four friends were in a car park off Fitzgerald Avenue, Maroubra, on Sunday night, when a 17-year-old boy drove a car while his 18-year-old friend was sitting on the boot, police said.

The man fell hard on the concrete and fractured his skull, police said. He is in St Vincent's Hospital.

Police have interviewed the driver and continue to investigate.
