video here
Obviously this is not big news, but I just thought I'd share with you guys anyway since I was the only SRT4 that happened to be on the side of the road there. I blew two tires, damaged one rim superficially (thankfully it did not bend), but something in the suspension may be bent I will have to takea closer look, it took forever to align the damn thing after that.
Be careful on those roads fellas! They are not built for heavy rain and are taking damage!
I was one of the very last cars to hit the hole before they finally sealed off the lanes and patched it. I watched CalTrans arrive 5 minutes after I had to pull over
The video does not say, but on a different channel they mentioned the pothole was 3 feet by 5 feet. HUMONGOUS. I am fortunate overall that the damage is not worse.
Oh, lastly... I think the site says 30 total flattened tires but that is very wrong. There were 34 cars involved, and most had multiple flats like myself. One of the tow truck guys said he was there for one with 4 flats! Yikes.
