The 64-year-old was driving a car. Two other vehicles involved in the crash were an HGV and a Ford Laika.
Mr Burgess’s family said in a statement that Ian was a “loving husband and soul mate to Paula, brilliant dad to Lana, Jack and Rhona and amazing papa to Isla, Autumn, Oscar and May. We are a heartbroken broken family to lose him, and our lives won’t be as good without him.”
