Crash victim named as Rotherham man

Mr Puzo (29), who was from Rotherham, was one of three men thrown from a red Toyota Avensis after it failed to negotiate a left-hand turn near the junction near the junction of the A630 Rotherway and its junction with West Bawtry Road at around 8.50pm.

Richard Balog (24), who received minor injuries, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving.

He appeared at Rotherham Magistrates' Court yesterday and was remanded in custody.

Rotherway and West Bawtry Road were closed by police following the incident.

A police spokeswoman said that the car had skipped over a central reservation before colliding with chevron boards warning motorists of the tight bend.

"The car was severely damaged in the incident and all three men were rushed to Rotherham General Hospital," said the spokeswoman.

"The injuries of one of the men proved fatal."

Rotherway and West Bawtry Road were closed by police following the incident.

A 29-year-old man from Bradford, who was also in the car, escaped with minor injuries.

The spokeswoman added: "This was a one-vehicle collision and it is currently under investigation."
