A driver was killed and two other people seriously injured in a crash on Buckingham Road in Buckingham Tuesday night.

A pickup truck driven by a 30-year-old LaBelle man was traveling north on Buckingham Road around 7:23 p.m. A second pickup truck, driven by a 57-year-old man with a 60-year-old woman as passenger, both from Fort Myers, was traveling south on Buckingham Road. The LaBelle man attempted to pass other traffic in a no-passing zone at a right curve.
