Senior loses car to massive pothole outside Reilly Center

Bryan Izzo's 1990 Ford Tempo dove front-first into a giant pothole outside the Reilly Center Tuesday afternoon, as seen in this grainy, reader-submitted cell phone photo.

Maintenance officials at St. Bonaventure University closed the southernmost portion of Bonaventure Road Tuesday afternoon after a pothole approximately eight feet wide and four feet deep swallowed a student’s vehicle.

Senior French major Bryan Izzo said he jumped out of his moving car, a tan 1990 Ford Tempo, just before it tipped front-first into the gaping hole.
