A MAN was killed and two others were seriously injured after the car they were travelling in careered off a busy dual carriageway.

The three men were thrown from a red Toyota Avensis after it failed to negotiate a left-hand turn near to the junction of the A630 Rotherway and its junction with West Bawtry Road at around 8.50pm on Saturday night.

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