Carly McLean, from Glasgow, and three of her children were among 26 people hurt in accidents across the country where road defects were recorded as a factor.
A 29-year-old Scottish mum, Carly from Mosspark, miscarried after hitting a pothole near Braehead Shopping Centre in January 2023. She blames Glasgow City Council and is seeking an apology. Road experts attribute the increasing number of potholes and related accidents to a "patch and dash" approach to repairs. In 2023, compensation payouts to drivers for pothole damage exceeded £4.2 million.
