Truck crashes through telephone pole, into Fall River business, nearly hitting pedestrian, injuring one
Some damage was done to a Fall River business Wednesday morning after a crash.
Shortly before 7:00 a.m., a call came into dispatch for a vehicle into a pole at South Main Street near State Avenue which is near the Fall River and Tiverton border.
Upon arrival, responders found a truck into Southend Barbershop at 2641 South Main Street with half of a telephone pole on top of the hood.
According to Captain Jay Huard, the operator, 28-year-old Timothy Faria, was operating a 1996 GMC Sierra. The truck swerved off the road and nearly struck a jogger who was on the sidewalk.

This piece of s*** Timmothy Faria has been scamming people on Facebook. He’s a lying no good piece of s*** that needs to hang off a rope the f****** b****** seeks out people who are posting looking for motorcycle parts and pretends to fulfill their needs by acting he has a warehouse of motorcycles and has endless parts. Promises to deliver the parts to the victim upon receiving there payment then never sends the parts. I am one of his victims costing me over 500.00 I’d love to see this b**** hang from a rope by his neck. Not cause of the money but for the deception. You f*** me like that and I’ll kill you and if I could get my hands on Timmothy Faria, I’d kill him, so the law needs to screw this b****** to the wall so he doesn’t die or hurt no one else.
