According to the release, a 2013 Ram 1500, driven by Liliana Villafana, 62, of Ephrata was traveling southbound on SR 17 and came to a stop at a stop sign at the intersection of SR 28. Naomi Paszeicz, 49 of an unknown residency, driving a 2014 Toyota Prius, was traveling eastbound on SR 28 through the intersection when Villafana failed to yield and struck the front end of the Prius.
