<p>Witness Andy Brookes told the PA news agency: “The police closed the road just before my vehicle, then loads more turned up.”</p>
<p>The 44-year-old from Earls Barton said: “I saw at least four people in the back of the trailer that were wearing Covid face masks, and I saw about six or seven people on the grass at the side of the motorway.”</p>
