FARMINGTON — An Orrington man was injured Saturday when he fell asleep and his truck crossed the centerline into oncoming lanes on Wilton Road, then jumped a curb and entered Hight’s Chevrolet lot.
The truck driven by Timothy Dickinson, 51, then hit a light pole, snapping it in half, before continuing on to hit a dealership loaner truck, Farmington police officer Justin Blais said.
The broken light pole landed on another truck in the lot, he said.
Dickinson, who had been staying at a variety of places, had been on his way from work when the accident happened just before 7 a.m., Blais said.
Dickinson received lacerations but declined to be taken to a hospital by a Northstar EMS ambulance crew.
Blais estimated that Dickinson’s 2005 GMC was destroyed.
The other two trucks had rear-end damage.
Officer Jesse Clement and the Farmington Fire Rescue Department assisted Blais at the scene.
