While city crews remain hard at work patching many Calgary roads, a massive pothole on 16 Avenue N.W. created some very expensive problems for drivers on Thursday.
While city crews remain hard at work patching many Calgary roads, a massive pothole on 16 Avenue N.W. created some very expensive problems for drivers on Thursday.
The large hole in the curb lane of 16th Avenue near Sarcee Trail burst the tires of a number of drivers who hit it.
When the drivers checked, they found bent rims and other damage.
"I thought I blew my front bumper out," said Emily Randal, one of the unlucky drivers who hit the pothole on Thursday.
"The road was wet but at the same time I could still see this patch of repaired road."
Randal said she didn't think there was anything wrong, but when she drove over it, she heard a loud bang.
She says she pulled over to the side of the road and found five other vehicles had also pulled over.
