A MAN was airlifted to hospital after falling from his horse on a disused railway track.

The man, in his 60s, was found unconscious on the old track in Prescott, Cleobury Mortimer, at around 2.50pm today.

An ambulance, a rapid response vehicle and the Midlands Air Ambulance were dispatched to the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said "On arrival at the scene, crews found a man who is believed to have fallen from a horse.

"The horse is also believed to have rolled on top of the man.

"The man was reported to have been unconscious for a short time before ambulance crews arrived.

"He was treated at the scene for a minor head and hand injury."

He was taken to Worcestershire Royal Hospital for further assessment and treatment.
