Mr Drewett, who worked out of Parkeston Quay, lived alone. His elderly father was too distressed to talk yesterday.

Mr Drewett was travelling on the Clacton-bound carriageway when his car crossed the central reservation at about 7.15am and collided with a Vauxhall Vectra travelling towards Colchester.

The 26-year-old woman driver, of Dovercourt, was treated in Colchester General Hospital for minor injuries before being released.
