Even worse it says that 3,154 people were killed. Since 2011 the number has increased by 10%. If this pattern continues then the number will only get larger. These facts makes…

I was driving down Fondren looking for a place to grab a bite when suddenly BAAM! I had went over a huge pothole at about 40 miles per hour. Not only was the pothole huge, but I could not abstain from going over them because the whole street was covered with holes.
