Some drivers will be making repairs to their cars this morning after hitting a big pothole in Richmond last night.

The pothole opened up in the northbound lanes of Knight Street, not far from the Westminster Highway.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

It was estimated at about a metre-and-a-half long.

There were reports more than a dozen vehicles were pulled over last night in the area after being damaged by the pothole.

Many of them had to change flat tires.

“We drove over a pothole and now both of our tires are gone,” said one driver. “Flat tires. It happened to 10 people and we’ve been waiting two hours now for a tow truck.”

It appears the pothole has now been filled in.
