As an avid outdoorsman, 40-year-old Luke Zimmer uses his YouTube channel to help others learn wilderness survival skills. He ends each video with the same message, “’Til next time — be safe, have fun, and as always, we are stronger together.”
A chain of kindness ended up saving Zimmer’s life last week.
At about 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, he spotted a woman stuck in the snow on 35W South near Johnson St. NE. Zimmer tried to tow her out, according to his family.
“That’s just the way he’s always been, my brother would help anyone,” said Tyler Zimmer, his younger brother. “He says he remembers just being under the car for a second or two looking for where to hook up, he said then the whole bumper where was looking had disappeared and then he was far away from both vehicles.”
