The incident saw part of the road being closed in both directions for several hours, leading to severe congestion and long tailbacks of traffic.

"Owen was a kind, polite and much loved son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, and friend, who was always happy to help anyone," said his family.

"He enjoyed his daily work on the family farm and with the family's agricultural contracting business.

"His tragic and untimely death has been felt throughout the community.

"He will be sadly missed, and will always be in our hearts," they added.
