Potholes are being plugged with… phone books?

Now here’s something you don’t hear every day.

In Youngstown, Ohio a nasty pothole was causing major problems for drivers on a country road on Monday.  Apparently at least EIGHT cars pulled over with tire damage within a short amount of time.

So a local police officer sprang into action.  He couldn’t patch the pothole so what did he do?  He temporarily filled it with a couple of PHONE BOOKS that he saw lying along the side of the road.  Phone books???  Lol, yup!

The police officer also placed a cone next to the hole . . . and helped a few people change their tires.

The road has since been patched.

In all my years of existence, this is definitely a first.
