The investigation revealed Ruby Ellen Marshall, 85, of Brandywine was driving a Honda CRV north on Poplar Hill Road and attempted to turn onto St. Peter’s Church Road but failed to yield the right of way to a southbound Toyota Rav4. The vehicles collided in the intersection. Marshall and the driver of the Toyota—a 68-year-old Waldorf woman—displayed minor injuries at the scene of the crash and were transported to the University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center (CRMC) for treatment.
