A good Samaritan says he keeps a tow strap in his car for emergencies and has used it to help get other cars out of a ditch.  Thursday morning was the first time Matthew Snoerk had ever used it to help save a person from drowning.  The 19-year-old victim was shouting for help in a creek near the Fox River after his car had swerved off a county road.  Snoerk and Kenosha County highway worker Bill Fink pulled the victim to safety at about 6:30 A-M.  The name of the man they saved hasn’t been released.
