“I have a 1992 Chrysler New Yorker. I was driving on wilbeth rd., akron, oh at a very slow rate approx. 25 m.p.h. Which was the speed limit. I hit a pothole and my airbag deployed and I have injuries due to that accident which I went to the hospital and was examined and x-rayed. I have pictures of the airbag and the pothole I hit. Unfortunately, the street repair was done before I got a picture of the actual hole but you can see the patch in the street of the size of the hole, approx. 1ft. By 1 ft. And it was like the street was caving in not actually a pothole. …”
