Anyone know what's going on in the Elland area?

There was a lot of police activity in the up on the hillside (if that's what it is as I don't know the area and it is dark) between Elland and the M62 motorway.

The WY Police twitter page said something about a child that had fallen into a quarry, but that seemed to be in the wrong location and further south west.

It looked to me to be around where I guess J24 of the M62 might be and possibly more towards Elland than on the motorway itself but the heli was circling for a good 20 minutes before hovering over something. Could see a couple of sets of blue lights up there too by the end, but everything has cleared off now.
