Hawkeyes player helps woman change tire on the side of I-35

Tina Gunn was traveling from Minnesota back to Nebraska with her sons over the weekend when her tire fell flat on an I-35, just north of Story City.Zach Twedt, a linebacker for the Iowa Hawkeyes, said he was traveling to Iowa City when he saw her car parked on the side of the road and got out to help.He fixed her tire in all about 10 minutes.Gunn shares she is still in awe of Twedt's kindness. "Just those small acts of kindness, like that's what we need. I think the world needs to see that. This guy wasn't threatened by somebody like me or by my kids that were in the car. He wanted to help us out of the goodness of his heart," Gunn said. Twedt was headed back to Iowa City so he could be in town for football practice the following day. He said he was a little afraid getting out of his car as other vehicles were racing past them on the highway but he knew what he needed to do.He says he's all about helping out when he can."In my opinion, it doesn't matter who you are, what your status is in society, no one is too good to help someone else out. So I feel like that will be step number one in making the world a better place," Twedt said.
