A 39-year-old Thunder Bay man faces multiple charges after crashing into a hydro pole and south side home.

The driver of the pick up truck was travelling in excess of 128 km/h in an area where the posted maximum speed limit was 50 km/h.

The accused will be back in court at a later date to answer for the charges of Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle and Failure to Stop After Accident.
