Doesn't look much as full of water, but massive hit while making room for oncoming car. see photo of front wheel damage. Later found rear tyre flat as well, suspect rear wheel damaged also. Car booked into garage for investigation. The whole road between Blakesley and the Maidford cross roads is a patchwork of repairs on top of failed repairs with multiple potholes - never seen any road like it. whole road needs resurfacing? see grid refs in photo.
