Police had previously said the three men were with a woman and had arrived in the area in a blue Ford before the incident, in which an unknown silver coloured vehicle was also involved. On Saturday there was a heavy police presence at the scene and officers cordoned off a section of the southbound carriageway, before the turn off for the Travelodge. Forensic officers could be seen loading items onto a white van, while there were a number of police vehicles, and the road was reduced to one lane to passing traffic. There was also police activity on the other side of the carriageway with a vehicle spotted being loaded onto a car carrier trailer.
