TRAVELLING UP OTLEY ROAD A658 THURSDAY 21/01/10 AT 5.50 PM , THE LIGHTS AT THE JUNCTION OF IDLE ROAD THAT INTERSECTS ACROSS OTLEY ROAD TO UNDERCLIFFE OLD ROAD , WERE AT GREEN . I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE LIGHTS , THE MOMENT YOU PASS THE TRAFFIC LIGHT , I CAME UPON A DITCH THAT WAS 6 TO 7 FEET WIDE , WIDTH WAYS ACROSS THE ROAD , 6 TO 8 INCHES INPLACES WIDE AND 6 INCHES DEEP IN PLACES , I HEARD AND FELT A SUDDEN HARD THUD AS MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WENT DOWN THE HOLE , MY LEFT WHEEL MANAGED TO MISS THE TRENCH . AFTER THAT I HEARD SCRAPING OF MY SUSPENSION COIL SPRING RUBBING AGAINST THE CAR CHASSIS , IT HAD SNAPPED .
