George Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue a family who was trapped in an overturned vehicle, police said today.
Zimmerman was one of two men who came to the aid of Dana and Mark Gerstle and their two children, who were trapped inside a blue Ford Explorer SUV that had rolled over after traveling off the highway in Sanford, Fla. at approximately 5:45 p.m. Thursday, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
The crash occurred at the intersection of I-4 and route Route 46, police said. The crash site is less than a mile from where Zimmerman shot Martin.
By the time police arrived, two people - including Zimmerman - had already helped the family get out of the overturned car, the sheriff's office said. No one was reported to be injured.
Zimmerman was not a witness to the crash and left after speaking with the deputy, police said.
It's the first known sighting of Zimmerman since he left the courtroom following his controversial 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.

Selfless.
I imagine he is getting tired by now. This must be the eighth family he’s rescued today.
8th news story same rescue :-)
Clearly he couldn’t be “hiding” very hard in Seminole County. These protest marches and such appear to be 99% buffalo doodoo.
Watch as the MSM buries this story or spins it to make him look bad.
Can anyone imagine Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson doing this? Or obama?
They like to stir the pot......that is easy. Real work.....that is much more difficult.
I would love to buy George a beer if I ever had the opportunity.
And every one of them white.
Just proves he's a racist
This dude is practically a superhero! You have to admire a guy who continually goes out of his way to help people.
“I imagine he is getting tired by now. This must be the eighth family he’s rescued today.”
Wow! And I did not see a single one of the other stories on the banglist!
Not quite.
What they are doing, is spending about 1/3 of the article on the wreck and the other 2/3 rehashing the shooting and verdict and getting in a few more "shot an unarmed teen" and the protests.
They are only printing it because it draws hits and keeps the ObamaZombies from nodding off and forgetting about Z
You’re right - looks like none on the banglist.
He fights crime at night... pulls people from car wrecks... and he has to go into hiding and maybe use an assumed identity to protect his loved ones. Sounds like GZ is Batman!
Not in Nigeria.
Imagine that! Two good deeds occurring at locations so close together!
Indeed Selfless . Authentic...SOLID!
this article allegedly gives information on the family he helped.
Hope the next GZ story is how he & his bodyguard are jumped by bro’s bent on avenging Trayvon & several of the latter get popped to room temperature.
WOW the SUPER URINALISTS at http://www.codewit.com on NIJEEEERIYUH used the same COPY without giving any credit to it’s author.
they simply RACIALIZED the Headline and ran it as is.
there must be a Nobel Prize in there somewhere
at the rate the situation is escalting we likely won’t “have to” wait very long.
The dumbass liberals in my family are claiming this was staged event with the goal of gaining Zimmerman public support. Yes, they really are that stupid.
