Dangerously deep pothole

Reported via mobile in the Pothole (NH) category by Wayne Shimmen at 05:51, Wed 26 April 2023

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4486359.

I was travelling southbound on the M11 under the M25 flyover on 25th April 2023, 05:20 and hit a dangerously deep pothole. This could have caused a serious accident and needs addressing immediately. After hitting the pothole I notice wheel vibration and a tyre pressure warning light was on. After removing the wheel I noticed major damage/bent wheel. I have now sent the wheel for repair as it's completely unsafe and unusable. It has also damaged my tracking as the steering wheel is now off centre but until I know more about my wheel I cannot get this rectified.
