The 85-year-old, who is a member of the club, had to be cut free from her vehicle by firefighters from Stourbridge and Brierley Hill who were called out at 6pm on Thursday March 9 to the golf club in Worcester Lane, Pedmore.

A spokesman for West Midlands Fire Service said: "We carried out a full roof removal and the casualty was assisted by doctors and paramedics at the scene."
