The pothole was in his path to a bus stop near the intersection of Ridge Pike and Alan Wood Road in Conshohocken (Plymouth Township).

The suit outlines that the three defendants have a legal responsibility to maintain safe conditions on the roadway where the incident occurred. The defendants have not yet responded to the lawsuit.
