The family of a man killed in a crash involving a combine harvester have paid tribute to him.

34-year-old Jamie Howarth died as he rode his motorbike along Marsh Road in Standerwick, just outside Dilton Marsh near Westbury, on Tuesday 22 August.

Emergency services, including Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, attended the scene – but were unable to save his life.

Jamie’s family has paid tribute to him as ‘much-loved’ son, brother, uncle and friend who enjoyed the freedom of being on his bike.

His parents said: “Jamie was fiercely loyal to those he loved, and it was unconditional.

“Jay loved riding his motorbike and the independence he got from it. We are going to miss him more than life itself. Our hearts are broken.”

His sister, Lucy, added: “He was a great brother and an amazing uncle to all his 12 nieces and nephews, who he adored and cherished.

“He enjoyed life as a free spirit on his beloved bike, but he was tragically taken from us too soon.

“My heart is broken and no words will even begin to imagine our heartache. He will be greatly missed by us all.”

Avon and Somerset Police are leading the investigation, which happened just ten metres from the Wiltshire border, and say Jamie’s family are being supported by a family liaison officer.

Officers are keen to speak with anyone who witnessed the collision, or have any relevant footage which can assist their enquiries into the incident.
