SPIRIT LAKE — What began as a series of unfortunate events for a father and son had a happy ending Wednesday.
Joe Stokes of Spirit Lake was dirt biking with his 9-year-old son River and some friends near Lewiston over the weekend when Stokes got into an accident, leaving the single father with a shattered ankle and broken wrist.
Stokes was driven by friend Brittany Karst to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, where River’s dirt bike was then stolen out of the back of Stokes’ truck in the Sacred Heart parking lot.
