It is unclear whether the vehicle’s occupant was a student or not. Campus Safety said they are safe.
The incident is being investigated by Gettysburg Police.
Campus Safety also addressed the rumor that there were students running in the woods toward the train tracks. An officer said it was likely to be state police in the woods since the railroad is in their jurisdiction and they had to check the surroundings. No other people entered the woods, they said.
