Kansas City, Kansas man says potholes caused crash on I-70 overpass

Imagine driving on an overpass and suddenly dozens of potholes appear.

Dot and law enforcement are quick to give tickets cause "your car is not safe for the road" hell, these roads aren't safe for our cars

[@BigBoyGiraffeGraff]

I’m in the same boat as this guy after hitting a combo of a pothole and then black ice under and over pass on 435 north, it’s crazy how bad the roads have been this last two seasons.

What's really happening with the people's money, this is ridiculous. He's not the criminal

[@DontplaywithKingYahorHis55555]

Them potholes ain't no joke in Wyandotte, first time I heard about this one. Thank God he is alright.

[@jerruizsathomas4838]

Yes! I was just in KC yesterday and it potholes everywhere you look driving.

[@SavageFrenchies]

I believe it when they fixed them last year they literally had trucks full of asphalt and guys walking behind it with shovels. They just let the cars pack it down when they drove over it. The repairs lasted a month if that. There are ones literally the size of the entire lane impossible to avoid because it’s the freakin whole lane wide. I’m surprised I haven’t cracked my rim the potholes are deep too. Some places they are over a foot deep.

I work for State Roads in West Virginia, even we're not allowed to do the throw and go method of pothole patching, we mill them out then roll them, these big cities and their taxpayers should be outraged

[@gaylaharvey9079]

Where the infrastructure money? Doesn’t that help pay for ROADS???

[@fantastictoad8853]

man oh man this guy's vehicle was destroyed, uuummm Chevy, where you at with a free truck and $15,000 check for this guy?

[@mrkleen87]

Just adding asphalt to the pothole is not gonna fix it. It's just a semi fix. You have to redo that whole section in order for the asphalt not to mess up again in a couple of months. Or replace that section with concrete

[@c-man6376]

All the extremely high taxes that are paid around here and every year they hike taxes even higher... a person could never tell that any of it is spent to keep roads safe... the infrastructure is absolutely terrible on the Kansas and Missouri side

[@nathanielaustin1420]

Imagine how truck drivers feel.

[@DoubleDsDeliveries]

I believe it. These roads are trash. I just started my trucking life and have cross the country 3 times now east to west. No road is not effected.

[@josephkramer932]

Starting to even look like Mexico or Costa Rica, when it comes to potholes.

[@jeffouellette9946]

They aren't permanent. You throw some gravely looking stuff in there and within weeks it's all back out again. You're supposed to use a roller. But they come out there and they throw some stuff out there expect people to drive over it. You see the same thing on interstate 24 north of shitville Tennessee. and believe me there twice as bad as those potholes. No one should even have to swerve to miss a pothole.

[@tracynelson4077]

Kdot needs to buy that man a new truck.

Shoddy material mixtures create fortunes for savvy contractors. Inspectors live very well, due to secret payoffs.

I bet he was on his phone. Karma is a bitch

[@charlesmurray4013]

Good Man , Ia'm Glad Hes OK.

[@rjbrandon9643]

Wait, it's surprising that KC has so many potholes you can take an aerial photo of the area and draw any dot-to-dot photo your creative mind could come up with? What's shocking is people report these potholes all the time and they're never filled! That's the real "surprise!" ='))
