George Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue someone who was trapped in an overturned truck, police said today.
Sanford Police Department Capt. Jim McAuliffe told ABC News that Zimmerman "pulled an individual from a truck that had rolled over" at the intersection of a Florida highway last week. Florida Highway Patrol is now handling the case, McAuliffe said.
The crash occurred at the intersection of I-4 and route 417, police said.
It's the first known sighting of Zimmerman since he left the courtroom following his acquittal last week on murder charges for the death of Martin. Zimmerman, 29, shot and killed Martin, 17, in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012. The jury determined that Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense.
The acquittal prompted dozens of protests across the country this past weekend and his lawyers have said that Zimmerman has been the subject of death threats. His lawyers said Zimmerman has been wearing a bullet-proof vest when he ventures out in public.
Zimmerman's parents told ABC News' Barbara Walters they too have received death threats and have been unable to return to their home.
"We have had an enormous amount of death threats. George's legal counsel has had death threats, the police chief of Sanford, many people have had death threats," Zimmerman's father, Robert Zimmerman said."'Everyone with Georgie's DNA should be killed' -- just every kind of horrible thing you can imagine."

It's enough for the left if the truck was black.... clearly, GZ is the guy to profile the truck. And, if the truck had a hoodie...
I'm thinking George might want to consider another 'neighborhood' to live in. I can't believe he was not a thousand miles away by now. Wow!
What an A-hole.... He SHOULDA just stayed in his truck! /s
See how Providence intervenes?
If Zimmerman hadn’t shot Martin that night, he wouldn’t be in hiding now, which means he likely wouldn’t have been on the scene for that truck driver.. which means the driver might’ve died.
So.. Trayvon Martin’s death served a purpose.
Maybe DoJ should investigate whether GZ made the truck roll over....

NAACP Seminole chapter to hold town hall meeting on Zimmerman verdict tonight
The Seminole County branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold a town hall meeting tonight at Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Sanford to give the public an opportunity to discuss the George Zimmerman trial and verdict.
Turner Clayton, president of the NAACP’s Seminole County branch, said the verdict was not fair and definitely not impartial.
The NAACP branch is calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to file civil-rights charges against Zimmerman.
Tonight’s town hall meeting will begin at 7 at 1203 Olive Ave. in Sanford’s historic Goldsboro community.
I wondered the same thing.... If he was, we'll NEVER hear about it.
~I don't always pull victims from overturned vehicles the week after being acquitted for murder in a nationally televised case. But when I do...~
This happened last week. Amazing that it wasn’t reported/admitted until now.
LOL what if it’s a black guy he pulled out, the blast zone at MSNBC will cover three states
Sadly, that's true. It reminds me of the reaction of the Pharisees after Lazarus was raised from the dead.
Not a religious person but I see the hand of God in here. (:
Right. George and his entire family - they’re all evil.
And the thugs calling for Zimmerman’s death and the death of his entire family - they are good citizens who just want justice. Sure.
It’s the world gone mad.
This reminds me of the old Fugitive television show with David Janssen (not the insipid Harrison Ford movie).
Janssen played an innocent fugitive in hiding who was frequently forced to reveal himself as he was a medical doctor, whose professional ethics forced him to respond to health emergencies.
Yeah... a 17-year-old, 6’2”, 160-pound “child.”
Not sure about the truck, but I have it on good authority that his TV is colored.
LOL
“Trayvon would have pulled the guy from the truck while feeling for his wallet.”
Trayvon actually did rescue his own father from a fire some time ago.
Also, regardless of what kind of kid he was; he is dead now and should be allowed to rest in peace.
There is no need to stoop to having no class in this debate.
I believe that perjury is a third degree felony. Or it could be a first degree misdeameanor. Knowing the caliber of those going after George, since they did not get him, they will jump on her with both feet and make an example out of her. If they can.
Doesn’t matter.
He may be a pudgy little guy, but he runs toward the sound of the guns. He’s good guy.
May God bless him and keep him.
