Afghanistan veteran 'killed' by huge pothole

An Army officer who survived a tour of duty in Afghanistan has been killed on the UK's roads while attempting to avoid a pothole.

Captain Jonathan Allen collided with a lorry when he swerved his bicycle to avoid a huge hole in side of the A338 in Wiltshire.

The Sun reports that the 15ft long pothole was filled in by council workmen 36 hours after the tragic accident occurred.
