A woman has suffered a head injury after falling from a horse in Wolverhampton.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the Lower Penn area of the city shortly after 10.45am today.
Two ambulance crews attended. The crew of the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford attended by blue-light rapid response vehicle. The helicopter was unable to fly because of the bad weather at the time.
