Pothole damages dozens of cars on busy Harrogate district road
Dozens of cars were damaged today and several had to be towed away after a large pothole opened up on one of the main roads into Harrogate.
Drivers travelling towards Harrogate on the A658 at Huby felt the brunt of the impact at rush.
The hole was eventually coned off and traffic lights installed but not before numerous vehicles had been damaged.
David Barker, who lives in Huby, said:
