THE police have joined in the rant against potholes.

PC Andre Owen from Sussex Police tweeted his frustration after losing a tyre and a wheel over a pothole.

He was driving home from work along the A27 near Drusillas Park yesterday evening when his tyre popped after hitting the damaged bit of road.

He tweeted: “I’ve seen lots tweets about potholes on A27.

“Today on way to work I hit one of those...Bent and possibly cracked my alloy, popping my tyre.

“Now I’m stuck for hours awaiting recovery and need a new wheel and tyre.

“Annoyed doesn’t quite cover it.”

The Argus:

He is currently looking into how to make a claim for damages.
