Mr Simmonds, riding a Suzuki Bandit motorcycle, collided with a high-sided skip lorry or similar at around 6.40am on August 14 on the westbound carriageway at junction five (Eastleigh).

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A driver of a waste truck later contacted police and was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and failing to stop. The 50-year-old from Southampton was bailed until September 18.

Police are continuing to appeal for information about the collision and would like to hear from anyone who witnessed it or saw any vehicle involved prior to it.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Roads Policing unit, quoting Operation Santawood, on 101 or the anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
