Pothole Pays $300 Price Tag | Roanoke News

A Halifax County driver lost hundreds after hitting a massive pothole near Clearbrook Walmart—her car was totaled with blown tires, a ripped bumper, and a bent strut. The hole, half the lane wide, left her no safe option to swerve. VDOT blames weather delays in overnight paving, offering only a temporary fix while full repairs continue. The driver, a one-income household, feels the financial blow is unjust. VDOT advises filing claims online or by phone with photos, estimates, and incident details—and urges reporting all potholes to help prioritize fixes. Full paving should finish by August 11, bringing hope for smoother roads ahead. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
