Woman reports seeing body floating in the River Lune

A BODY has been sighted by a train passenger, this afternoon, sparking a search operation.

Liverpool Coastguard and local teams have responded to claims of a body floating in the centre of the river Lune.

A woman called police to report the sighting, made while she was crossing the Carlisle Bridge at Lancaster.

Search teams attended the scene at 1.10pm and said the river contained a lot of debris due to the high quantity of rainfall.

No body has been found, although the search has continued as far down as Glasson Point.

The train must have been going very slow if she could make out human features in the fast flowing river.
Hopefully it's just a tree branch.
