The worst pothole in LA? Drivers left with shredded tires, disabled cars along Sunset Boulevard

WESTWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A pothole along a street in the Westwood area is notorious for flattening tires and tearing off hub caps, leaving drivers with costly road damage.

The crater is located on Sunset Boulevard near Beverly Glen. Video taken Wednesday night by one of those unfortunate drivers shows the large and deep hole in the road. Multiple hub caps were also seen strewn along the street, creating a memorial of sorts for all the tires ruined by the pothole.

The woman says six cars, including her own, got a flat tire within two hours.

Eyewitness News could not locate any evidence of the pothole Friday morning, but the asphalt reportedly opens up again and again - no matter how often it's filled and fixed. Drivers say it's been a problem in the area for decades despite repairs.

We've reached out to the city of Los Angeles to confirm that the pothole has been repaired, and whether there is a long-term solution.
