Two young men were seriously injured Tuesday night when a large tree fell on the truck they were driving during the wind storm. Jordan Simon, 22, and his best friend, Sheldon Cole, 22, were driving on Twin Lakes Road Tuesday evening around 5 p.m. According to Sheldon’s mother, Shelley Cole, the friends were going to look at a truck that was for sale. “They were just driving down the road and a tree fell from behind them and hit the cab of the truck,” she said. “They were five minutes from home and both of them were injured.” A Kootenai Electric employee, Cole said Sheldon was in the passenger seat and sustained a concussion, but Simon’s injuries were much worse/ Jeff Selle , Coeur d’Alene Press.
