GIANT Pothole / Trench on Bethelview Rd

This pothole/ditch which runs ALONG the outside white line at appx 5200 Bethelview Rd literally CRACKED my alloy wheel in half after hitting it this month. The damage to my vehicle is extensive and Google satellite images show the ditch was there for at least a year. The counties insurance companies adjuster, David Bergey, CPCU, ARM at ACCG.org SWIFTLY denied the damage claim (after being extremely snide/sarcastic during our first and only phone conversation) and I now have a vehicle that cannot be driven. The collision was so loud that residents of a neighborhood appx 500 yds away came out of their homes and to the front of the neighborhood, stating that it sounded like gunshots or a car crash. As a resident and tax-payer of this county for seven years I am appalled at the response and negligence in regards to this road damage. Of course, if the damage was reported over 30 days ago and never fixed, ONLY THEN are they liable.. This information, obviously, is not available to residents therefore impossible to prove. **If you have reported damage, had damage or know of someone that had damage from this road, PLEASE reply with contact info or details, Thank you!""
