Massive pothole
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5390775.
MASSIVE pot hole on the a34 heading north as you come out of botley. On a 70mph road my car is RUINED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The road needs closing for this!!!!!!!!!!!! Immediate danger to road users. It was lucky there was no one driving directly next to me as I swerved right into the other lane. Impossible to see in the dark until it’s too late. My car is ruined and I could have been seriously injured.
