GREENVILLE, WI (WTAQ) – A Greenville man has been recognized for his impact on the community.
AAA and Ford are honoring Nick Van of Fox City’s Towing as part of its ‘Real Heroes of the Road’ contest.
It asked road service providers to share their most rewarding experience.
Van’s story involves helping a woman whose car battery died while she was trying to flee an abusive relationship.
“I replaced her battery free of charge out of my pocket, and also filled up her car with gas and gave her some grocery money to help her make it where she needed to make it. I received a letter from her weeks later of her thanking me and gave her the sense that there was good people in the world when she thought there wasn’t.”
Van’s towing company has received a new Ford F-150 truck as a prize.
