A pothole on a busy Scots road left a woman with a burst tyre and a chip on her alloy wheels. Debbie Taylor was travelling in her BMW on Old Dalkeith Road, outside of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, when her front wheel clipped the pothole.
The 42-year-old felt the tyre deflate and pulled over the check the damage, discovering she had a shredded tyre.
The major route serves the Royal Infirmary and is busy with traffic going in and out of the city. Transport and Environment Convener Scott Arthur said a team immediately made the area safe and would permanently fix the pothole as soon as possible.
