Dangerous puddle on a12 southbound in fast lane near marks tey.

Reported via mobile in the Flooding/drainage (NH) category anonymously at 09:39, Sat 5 August 2023

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4860766.

We were travelling in the middle lane, a lorry was in the slow lane, another car travelling in the fast lane overtook us and as overtaking we we splashed by a big wave of water blocking our front car screen, we breaked as lorry was on left along side us we coildent see anything when my partner breaked slowly we could have ended up with other cars crashing into the back of us and a dangerous pile up could easily happen there. This need to be addressed as someone is going to be killed and this would the roadworks that would be responsible. Please either shut that lane or sort the puddle out very dangerous especially when raining.
