Evelyn Silva never saw it coming, and in one terrified and panicked instant, she rode into the abyss.
“Sometimes, you just don’t see it until the last second. And when you finally see it, there’s nothing you can do but hope and pray that no damage is done,” said Silva, a 24-year-old village resident whose 2012 Honda Civic was fortunately unscathed after it drove into one of the potholes that was haunting Oak Street Monday afternoon.
“I guess I was lucky driving in the middle of town. If I was on the highway going fast and hit a pothole like that, who knows what could have happened,” she added.
Running over a pothole, depending on its size, can result in various types of vehicle damage. Minor woes include lost hubcaps and warped wheel alignment, but impact might also puncture or completely blow out a tire. Then there’s more severe harm – premature wear on shocks and struts, bent axles and rims, and suspension and exhaust damage, for example.
