The crash happened at the 7-Eleven at Street Road and Brookwood Drive in Bensalem Township, according to a release issued by Bensalem Township Police at 3:56 p.m.

The vehicle had previously been reported stolen out of Philadelphia when Bensalem officers attempted to pull it over, police said.

Instead of stopping, the driver struck a Bensalem police vehicle and an unrelated vehicle before speeding away, according to investigators.

Moments later, the driver lost control and crashed into the convenience store in the 1600 block of Street Road, police said.

Three people fled the crash scene on foot, prompting a search involving patrol officers, detectives, and multiple drones.

Officers ultimately located five people who had been inside the stolen vehicle at some point, police said.

No injuries were reported.

Police have not released the identities of those involved or said whether any charges have been filed.

The investigation remains active, and police are asking the public to avoid the area.

No additional information was immediately available.
