A motorcyclist suffered multiple injuries, including a broken shoulder and internal bleeding, after hitting a damaged road patch and sliding into a rain ditch in Swindon.
Jim Dodds, 56, was rounding a bend when he lost control and was thrown from his bike.
Swindon Borough Council told him the ditch was "meant to be there," but he later found it had been filled in.
The crash caused his insurance to triple, and he was off work for six weeks.
A council spokesperson said he could appeal if dissatisfied with their response.
