Description

My name is Anthony Jones and I hit this pothole on Sunday 3/29/15 and damaged my vehicle underneath engine. It's making a lot of noise and now my engine, VSC & Stabilizer/Slippery warning lights are on. This hole is like a sink hole and you can see where vehicles are hitting the hole and man hole cover by the crapes on the ground, I'm sure some of those scrapes are from my car. You can also see the concrete sticking out from the hole area. SEPTA buses and other large trucks hit this hole making it worse and only those who know the hole is there slow down and go through. I took this picture at night but it was daytime when I hit this hole which appears not to be there due to the sun light. I damaged my front catalytic converter pipe beneath my 2006 Toyota Avalon and there maybe other damage that I can't see. Today my car is in shop for an estimate, I'm sure this is going to cost a lot of $$$ to fix.
