Woman dies after fall from spooked horse

GARDEN VALLEY, Idaho (AP) - A 59-year-old Garden Valley woman has died after falling off her spooked horse and hitting her head.

Authorities say Charlotte Davis died of a head injury Thursday after the accident at about 10 a.m. on Easley Creek Road.

Boise County Deputy Coroner Mike Johnson says Davis was riding with another person when her horse spooked and ran down the road and out of view.

Johnson tells the Idaho Statesman (https://bit.ly/1oR1buS) that the other rider reported the horse came back without Davis, who was found on the side of the road.

Emergency responders arrived but Davis died at the scene.
