Damage of car because of the very deep pothole

Reported via desktop in the Pothole (NH) category anonymously at 13:27, Wed 13 August 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8019907.

I was driving home at around 3rd August 2025 23:30 and when I passed the location road junction B1174, I heard a big sound and felt my car shaking and the car showed me the front left tire was deflated. I parked the car in a safe place, went back to check by walking and discovered a big deep pothole was there, with some road surface was loosen (size like football) with small ones around the pothole as well. I reported to the police immediately and at the mean while another car arrived, they have the same issue happened few minutes before me. They reported the issue to the police also and we got the incident number . My car was damaged by the pothole which is because LCC failed to maintain the road there properly(which is on the bridge, no one can see because without light there) and that this failure directly caused my damage. I reserve the right to pursue for the damage of my car. Thank you for your notification.
