Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies assisted Caddo Fire District 8 and North Caddo Ambulance after a 911 call of a large tree falling onto a residence, trapping two small children inside.

The accident happened in Ida, on the 7000 block of Ida Boy Scout Road at 11:49 p.m. after high winds and rain knocked down a tree that completely covered this house. Deputies say just before they arrived, the mother of the two children, ages 2 and 4, had already removed the children from the house. No one was injured in the accident.

Deputies say the family was able to stay in a motel in Atlanta, Texas for the night.
