A furious driver has issued a warning to other motorists after hitting an 'unavoidable crater' at a key interchange.

"I pulled up after having my tyre burst due to the unavoidable crater and there were two other cars also in the same boat as me.
"There have been three reports in the last week alone, but nothing has been done about it."
Ms Price said it has cost her £165 to replace her two front tyres, which has put her 'way' into her overdraft.
She has filed a claim with Oxfordshire County Council and reported it via FixMyStreet, a website which enables members of the public to report street issues.
A spokesperson for the council confirmed that the pothole is being investigated but could not comment further as it is now subject to a live compensation claim.

Ms Price added: "At the time I was frustrated, but then seeing the impact it had on other drivers and knowing it’s been reported multiple times and nothing has been done, I’m completely irate.
"It’s dangerous."
According to the council's website, 1,562 reports have been made via FixMyStreet recently, with 3,272 fixed in the past month.
