rtcCollide early exit after one intersection

I was wondering, is there a way to stop rtcCollide after one collision has already been found? I just want to know if there is a collision, so I was hoping I could avoid iterating through all the geometry once the first collision is found.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to terminate the rtcCollide function.
