Look out Californians, there's a crazy hole causing mayhem

12/18/2012

There's a new menace on California's roads. But it's not a wild animal, drunk driver or even a racing teenager trying to impress his girl. It's potholes. In fact, one single pothole on Highway 4 near Pittsburg, in the Bay Area of California, was recently responsible for causing damage to 25 different vehicles in a day. The danger of the road crater was exacerbated by heavy rain. One driver said the hole left her car with a flat tire and two broken headlights. That hole has since been filled, but an NBC investigation found it can take up to six weeks for road crews to get to a pothole. You have been warned. [Source]
