The incident happened between junctions 37 and 36, at around 5.15pm on Sunday, October 13. 

Mr Howarth worked at Glasswells in Bury St Edmunds.

Phillip’s family have issued this tribute: “Phil was a loving husband, dad and co-worker.

“He loved music, especially playing his guitar and listening to The Beatles. He loved being outside in nature and loved going to the Lake District.

“He had a joyous laugh and sense of fun and was very fond of a ‘dad joke’, much to the annoyance of his sons.

“He worked at Glasswells, in Bury St Edmunds, and enjoyed working there and working with all the people there.

 “He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, and he leaves a massive hole in all our hearts.”

Police appealing for witnesses to the collision or anyone who saw the vehicles in the moments leading up to it.
