The crater is located on Sunset Boulevard near Beverly Glen. Video taken Wednesday night by one of those unfortunate drivers shows the large and deep hole in the road. Multiple hub caps were also seen strewn along the street, creating a memorial of sorts for all the tires ruined by the pothole.
The woman says six cars, including her own, got a flat tire within two hours.
Eyewitness News could not locate any evidence of the pothole Friday morning, but the asphalt reportedly opens up again and again – no matter how often it’s filled and fixed. Drivers say it’s been a problem in the area for decades despite repairs.
