Potholes - Porsche Driver Killed

I'd say it's the 4th manhole east of the house, quite some distance before the crash, and quite a long way around the bend.
The fresh repair, as seen in Dec 2022, and the metalwork is consistent with the image in the Telegraph and Mail.
As is the broken white line next to it.
There are a whole series of manholes on the westbound side of the road leading up to the crash.
The one shown in the newspapers isn't the culprit unless he was travelling at warp speed.
More likely he was avoiding one of the other ones closer to the house, or maybe just lost control on one of the steel covers as the long straight came into view.
There is also a small pothole visible in streetview, directly by the driveway to the other house just east of the house he hit.
That's closer to the house he struck than any of the manholes, maybe they are a red herring.

I agree.

Under the circumstances, and on the premise that the driver of the white BMW makes a full recovery, that's possible the easiest outcome for all of the people involved to come to terms with, including the home owner and the driver's family.

No st.

True, but if people don’t report pot holes, the council don’t know where they are to fix. I always report bad holes to my local council, get a response, and reference, after it has been inspected I always get an email back from the council on an action being taken.

So, see it, report it.

It's hardly the same neck of the woods but the roads are in a bad state in Sussex. As for the featured article, I suspect the swerve may have had more to do with the flip than the depth of the pothole.

its under 20 miles away. In a country that's 603 miles long, I'd consider that the same neck of the woods.

I suspect she was on her phone, clipped the parked car (look at the damage to her front left corner) then rolled

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, someone was doing 40ish, looked down at her phone for literally only a second or two when a message came in that might have been urgent, drifted and clipped the kerb, panicked and flipped it.

The crash that was the subject of the thread was nothing to do with a pothole - it was a medical incident.

A heart attack having seen the size of the pothole?
