DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - Some drivers got quite a jolt when driving on westbound I-20 this morning.
There was a massive pothole in the middle of one of the lanes on westbound I-20 between Mountain Creek Parkway and Belt Line Road in Grand Prairie.
More than a half-dozen people ended up driving through it, damaging their cars and flattening their tires. Orlando Vega was just one of the pothole's many victims.

"The truck in front of me swerved, and there was no way for me to see it until i had already hit it," said Vega.
Vega's wife, Jacqueline Bazaldua, says they were stranded for more than an hour before help could arrive.
TXDOT has since filled in the pothole. But that's no comfort to the drivers whose cars are now heavily damaged.
