While traveling on 20/59 north past the coaling exit, I hit a pot hole. The pot hole was so big that it burst my tire and bent my rim. Since it was around 7:45 pm, I couldn't see it. Thank god it only burst one of my tires on the rear of my car. Things could have been a lot worse. It also took an hour at least for a trooper to come. This is going to cost me at least $450. I expect to get some assistance from the state with fixing my car. The pot hole needs to be filled ASAP!.
