The officer was headed north on Arthur Avenue near the Perkasie Library around 9:30 p.m. when a southbound Volkswagen Tiguan crossed into his lane, authorities said.

After an "offset head-on collision," the officer was treated at Grandview Hospital and released, said the department.

Police said the driver of the Tiguan, a 29-year-old Telford woman, "displayed signs of intoxication at the scene" and was arrested after a field sobriety test, but she has not been formally charged as of Tuesday morning, Nov. 21.

Charges from Pennsylvania State Police are pending, authorities added.
