Pennsylvania State Police were called to East Maple Avenue and South Pine Street (Route 413) in Langhorne Borough last Monday around 7 a.m. for a reported crash.
Troopers said they arrived to find Jose Angel Rivera, 31, of Philadelphia, intoxicated and involved in the crash between a 2011 van and a 2009 Nissan Versa.
Further investigation found the van being operated by Rivera was stolen earlier in the day, state police said.

Rivera was arrested by troopers.
Rivera was charged with theft, receiving stolen property, DUI, accident involving damage to an attempted vehicle, following too closely, and driving with a suspended license. Rivera was transported to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $75,000 bail shortly after the crash. He was released Tuesday after his bail was lowered to $10,000 unsecured.
