M65 J7 (Possible body found) ???

Was going up the motorway at approx 6pm Saturday and the first bridge over the motorway was swarmed with police and they seemed to be looking in the long grass up the embankment by the bridge. On the way back down the motorway heading back to Accrington approx an hour and a half later the police was still there and also a black private ambulance. It didnt seem to be a car accident, all looked a bit odd really.
My son seems to think that bridge in question is the railway track. Wondering if somebody had been hit by a train.

Dont want to scaremonger but a black private ambulance with the drivers in black suits dont look good.

dont they call black ambulances herses ?

mind you if i saw black amubulance type vehicles i would be thinking bomb squad but i havnt seen a bomb squad vehicle in the uk only on american movies lol

edit:

correction i have seen a UK bombsquad unit they were on teh carpark next to the adelphi back in teh late 80's when the IRA had left a car full of explosives and that looked like a black ambulance

Think the first bridge heading west is the canal.
