A man has been accused of driving more than 100km/h over the speed limit and crashing into a house west of Brisbane.
Police said a 32-year-old man reached speeds of up to 150km/h in a 50km/h zone in a Tesla before coming off the road at Ipswich.

The car crashed into the front room of a house at Sadliers Crossing before “coming to land nearby”.
The driver and a 29-year-old male passenger received non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
“Even momentary recklessness can have catastrophic and life-changing outcomes,” Ipswich District Acting Superintendent Jim Munckton said.
“Every kilometre over the limit, you are putting yourself and others at risk.”
The 32-year-old man has been charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing grievous bodily harm and driving over the general alcohol limit.
He is set to appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on January 12.
