About 12.30am on Saturday, a Toyota Hilux utility, being driven by a 17-year-old male travelled from Thirroul to Bulli Showground.
A 17-year-old girl was in the front passenger seat and a 15-year-old girl and 19-year-old man were riding in the utility's tray.
Police have been told while the vehicle was in the vicinity of the showground, the vehicle performed a 'doughnut' maneuver, throwing those riding in the tray.
As the vehicle rolled, it landed on the 19-year-old man's foot.
Emergency services attended, and the vehicle was lifted to release the 19-year-old man.
He was taken to Wollongong Hospital with serious leg injuries.
There were no other reports of injury.
The 17-year-old driver returned a positive roadside breath test.
He was taken to Wollongong Police Station, where a subsequent breath analysis returned an alleged reading of 0.091.
His provisional driver's licence was suspended, and he was issued a Field Court Attendance Notice for the offence of mid-range PCA.
He is set to appear in court on Tuesday, November 5.
Inquiries by the Lake Illawarra Crash Investigation Unit are continuing.
