Western Berks Fire Commissioner Jared Renshaw said a Tesla was in self-driving mode when it made a left at a railroad crossing.
He said it happened on South Hull Street in Sinking Spring around 5:30 a.m. Saturday.
“Went down the tracks approximately 40-50 feet. They all exited the vehicle, got their belongings out,” said Commissioner Renshaw.
