HALTOM CITY - A man and woman were hospitalized early Friday after they apparently tumbled about 10 feet off a concrete embankment in Haltom City, police said.

Police and paramedics were called to the 4900 block of Denton Highway about 2:30 a.m. after someone heard the woman, 42, moaning for help, police Cpl. Joe Hackfeld said. The man, in his early 50s, was unconscious when officers arrived.

The man and woman appeared to have been walking along a concrete embankment next to a small pond when they fell about 10 feet, he said. Investigators found no evidence that a criminal act had occurred and believe the fall was an accident.

MedStar transported the couple to a hospital where their conditions were unknown.
