A biker who is lucky to be alive after hitting a pothole has slammed Scotland's crumbling roads after defects were blamed for 15 deaths and more than 700 injuries.
Neil Adair, 53, is still undergoing physio for injuries suffered in his horror crash four years ago and is one of hundreds of people to be injured in the last decade.
He told the Record accidents like his aren't being treated seriously enough after our investigation revealed police have recorded 576 reported road traffic accidents where ‘defective surfaces’, like potholes, were a contributory factor since the single force came into effect in 2013.
