"The mother of all potholes" affecting driver safety in one Mobile Co. community for years (WPMI)
PRICHARD, Ala. (WPMI) —

Your typical lumps and bumps in the road have nothing on this. Some are calling a pothole in Prichard the “mother of all potholes" because of its size and location. It's along Telegraph Road, wedged in between the train tracks of a railroad crossing. Drivers along this road say that this pothole has all of the right qualifications to cause major damage to their vehicles. When I went out near the pothole earlier today, many people thanked NBC 15 for coming out to highlight the issue. An issue that they say has been affecting the area and the safety of drivers for years.

The sound of your tires hitting a pothole can keep a driver up at night. Especially drivers that frequent Telegraph Road near the Occidental Chemical Corporation in Prichard. Hundreds of drivers come up to the Alabama and Gulf Coast Railroad crossing and some finding ways to navigate a very large pothole, but others aren't always so lucky.
