PLANO, Texas — A major pothole on U.S. 75 in Plano damaged several cars and shut down a southbound lane of the highway, police said. It has since been repaired, according to police.
The damaged road happened just north of the President George Bush Turnpike exit, according to Plano police.
Police posted a photo of the damage Tuesday, Aug. 15, which extended the width of the lane. Police had blocked off the damaged lane and then part of another lane, but cars were still getting by on both sides.
The Texas Department of Transportation had crews respond to the scene to fix the pothole.
Police later posted a video of crews making the temporary repair.
Police said the pothole left about three to four cars with flat tires. Video from the scene showed at least one driver working to repair a tire on the side of the road.
Police asked drivers to slow down if they're driving through the area.
