Potholes Big Enough To Swallow Your Car

Finally, something we can all pretty much agree on - the size of some of the potholes across the Hudson Valley has been wild this year. No different than any other year, the winter brought with it some wear and tear on our roadways, resulting in some massive craters on many of our highly traveled roads.

REMEMBER WHEN: This Pothole Was A Contender For 'Biggest in 2024'

My go-to gas station in the area has one that I mindlessly forget about every time I pull into the lot, only after the front side of my car is significantly lower than the back do I remember that this crater is there. I digress.
