Five people were in the car that crashed into a Bensalem Township 7-Eleven, and police say all five have been located—including three who ran away after the collision. No injuries were reported in the Thursday afternoon update. That accounts for everyone in the car, but it does not establish that anyone was arrested or charged. 1
The crash happened October 29, 2026, at the store at Brookwood Drive and Street Road in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. NBC10 identified the address as 1644 Street Road; 6abc placed the crash around 3 p.m. on Street Road’s 1600 block. 1 2 3
According to Bensalem Township police, as reported by CBS Philadelphia, the car had been reported stolen from Philadelphia. Officers attempted a traffic stop, and the driver struck a police vehicle and another vehicle before speeding away. The car subsequently crashed into the convenience store. 1
The afternoon at the store
The police account establishes two vehicle collisions before the store impact, but not which vehicle was hit first. It also leaves the distance and elapsed time between those collisions and the crash into the building unclear. Those gaps matter to any reconstruction of how the car reached the store. 1
Nor does the attempted traffic stop, followed by the driver speeding away, establish a police chase. The available account does not say whether officers pursued the car. Describing the incident as a confirmed pursuit would add a consequential detail that the reporting does not supply. 1
Located is not the same as arrested
Police said three people ran off after the crash and that all five people who had been inside the car were eventually located. They did not explain where or how the three were found, or what the other two occupants did after the collision. 1
The distinction between being found and being taken into custody is central here. The reported update gives a headcount, not an individual account of what happened to each occupant afterward. It supplies no names, ages, arrest decisions or charges. There is no verified basis to describe the five collectively as people under arrest. 1
The allegation about the car’s stolen status also needs to stay separate from any conclusion about its passengers. It does not, by itself, establish that every person inside knew the car had been reported stolen or committed an offense. Responsibility cannot be assigned from an occupant count.
The account rests on police statements carried by local news reporting and on aerial imagery. An incident-specific public police release was not located. CBS Philadelphia published its report carrying the all-five-located update at 4:14 p.m. EDT; that is the report’s publication time, not a separately established time for a police announcement. 1
The car is out; questions remain
CBS Philadelphia’s Chopper 3 footage showed the car lodged in the building before a tow truck removed it around 4 p.m. The removal, roughly an hour after the reported crash time, is the latest confirmed physical change at the store. It does not establish the extent of damage to the building. 1 3
No injuries were reported in the afternoon account. That is the initial reported injury status, not a later medical assessment. The report does not provide a separate breakdown for the car’s occupants, police, people in the other vehicle or anyone who may have been inside the store. 1
For people planning to use the store or travel through the intersection, the remaining practical questions are unanswered. No reopening time, structural-safety determination or continuing traffic restriction is established in the available reporting. A car being towed away is evidence of vehicle recovery—not confirmation that a business can resume normal operations. 1
