An 86-year-old woman from Ephrata was traveling west in a Volkswagen Golf when her vehicle struck an eastbound horse pulling a wagon behind it.

They were rushed to Lancaster General Hospital for treatment of traumatic injuries. The driver of the Golf was also taken to the hospital for treatment, though her condition is not yet known.
