“Somehow this guy got in the trunk of this car," NLCR Police Chief David Steffen told the AP. Steffen said his agency is investigating, but police declined to give any more information.
The man's identity hasn't been released by police, but he was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and is expected to be released, according to the Associated Press.
An employee who works in the auction facility's capture department was opening the vehicle's trunk to take a picture for his job when he found the man.
"I opened the trunk to take a trunk picture," Darren Leeds told Lancaster Online, "and there was a guy in there."
Leeds also told Lancaster Online the vehicle was a Dodge Challenger Hellcat. For what it's worth, the 2019 Hellcat has 16.2 cubic feet of trunk space.
This is a developing story, and will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
