A structural failure in the road surface
"An underlying water weakening the structure of the soil in the ground below the road, largely through freezing action. Traffic passing over this affected area fatigues the road surface further, resulting in the surface finally breaking up and the creation of a pothole." (Standlake Vehicle Service)
