A massive pothole on the M25 caused significant disruption during Wednesday morning's rush hour, affecting at least 20 vehicles between Staines and Chertsey in Surrey. National Highways reported the pothole shortly after 6am, and although it was repaired within three hours, the incident resulted in delays of over 50 minutes and left many drivers stranded. Motorists reported experiencing damage to their vehicles, with some requiring emergency repairs, prompting National Highways to apologize for the inconvenience. Blaine Conway, a lorry driver affected by the pothole, expressed concerns about the road maintenance, suggesting that resurfacing work may have been prematurely completed. The agency noted that while they strive to maintain road safety through regular inspections, potholes can still occur, especially during adverse weather conditions. Drivers whose vehicles suffered damage can file compensation claims through National Highways' website.
