A HEROIC Army officer who survived a tour in Afghanistan has been killed by a pothole on a crumbling British road.
Captain Jonathan Allen, 29, was cycling home from his base when he was hit by a lorry as he swerved to avoid the 15ft long “crater” on the A338 on Salisbury Plain, Wilts. Brave Jonathan spent months in the Afghan badlands fighting the Taliban with the 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
But safe back in Britain, he was killed as he cycled from Mooltan Barracks at Tidworth, Wilts, to his home in Burbage, eight miles away. He is believed to have swerved to avoid a 3ft wide water-filled pothole at the edge of the road. Capt Allen suffered multiple injuries when he was crushed under the wheels of a lorry as the driver, a 55-year-old from Bromsgrove, Worcs, tried to overtake.
