A Quincy man accused of plowing his car into a Hubway bike renting station in the Back Bay early yesterday morning is facing criminal charges for leaving the scene of the accident, which crumpled eight bicycles and forced the company to shut down the location.

Witnesses to the crash told cops Nebiyu Elias, 32, was speeding down Boylston Street about 4 a.m. yesterday and ignoring stoplights when he lost control of his black Cadillac sedan and slammed into the Hubway station near Berkeley Street, police spokeswoman Rachel McGuire said.

Officers investigating the crash were able to track down the abandoned ­vehicle and later found Elias near the intersection of St. James Avenue and Clarendon Street, McGuire said. Police reports showed no indication he had been drinking prior to the crash, she said.

Elias, who was taken to Tufts Medical Center to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries sustained in the crash, has been charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident with property damage and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

McGuire said Elias damaged eight bicycles and the bike-sharing station’s bike rack.

Hubway spokeswoman Dani Simons said clean-up crews were out tending to the damage yesterday morning.

“We expect to be able to completely remove the remaining parts of the station by Monday and will work on getting it replaced,” ­Simons said. “A complete replacement is not something that happens frequently.”

Simons said the station will temporarily appear as “out of service” on the Hubway map. She expects the station will be back up and running sometime next week.
