He died because of a pothole

Tindimwebwa failed to see a deep pothole and fell off. Unfortunately, when he fell, one of his ribs had punctured his lung, so he was becoming increasingly short of breath. The doctors did an emergency procedure to drain the blood and air from the lining of the lungs, but they were unable to save him. He was 44 years old, with his life in front of him, but died because of a pothole.

DR Ian Clarke says he has written constantly over the past two decades about potholes, but Tindimwebwa still paid with his life for our collective failure to fix them (potholes).
