A large pothole opened up on the Princes Highway, a major road, and caused widespread damage to passing vehicles. At least 30 cars were affected, with drivers reporting blown or damaged tyres as a result of hitting the hole.
The immediate impact has been on ordinary motorists using the highway, who found themselves needing to pull over to fit spare tyres or wait roadside for a tow truck. This led to a lengthy queue of traffic building up in the area, causing delays for other road users passing through.
The incident has drawn attention to the condition of the road surface at that stretch of highway, and to the practical and financial burden placed on drivers when infrastructure like this fails unexpectedly. It is not yet clear who is responsible for maintaining that section of road or what action, if any, will follow.
