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."

Making our president a "white black."
Obama to say he acted stupidly in 5...4...3...
What color were the tires on the vehicles.
See? George Zimmerman is a racist, there's always blacks involved around George.
By all accounts the hate Zimmerman mobs are the occupy crowd and Holder funded marxist agitators. During jury deliberations they could only drum up sixty protesters outside the court house, so locally he is not as reviled as in some of the liberal cities with large black ghettos.
Tracy and Trayvon Martin are from the gangster contingent of society and this failed Reichstag fire only plays to that contingent and marxists.
He is probably as safe there where he has friends as anywhere in the country outside of the big cities.
I’m going with the Zimmerman angle.
He must be one of those people like in the cartoons who walk around with a black cloud over their head.
But it happened four days after the verdict.
“How about advocating for George to live HIS life in peace?”
You would not have to read very far in my post history to see I have always felt Zimmerman was justified for his actions by all the facts we know from the case. I support standing up to those on the other side of the issue for stirring up a false racial narrative. But lets save public insults of dead people for those who made themselves public figures and injured us personally.
We must not dignify the opponents by stooping to their level.
Never -- He will instead instruct his Justus Department to seize Zimmerman's fire extinguisher for his neverending investigation and to assure that this crass display of heroism never happens again.
“I trust you are going to liberal message boards and black activist sites with your ‘let Trayvon rest in peace’ message.”
I don’t troll their sites as I have better things to do. Let those who want to be ignorant remain ignorant.
Keep it classy. Don’t stoop to the level of the opposition. Their methods and tactics do not further conservative ideals.
“I just heard it on Fox.”
Are we talking about the same incident? The one I posted in post #83?
If we allow the left to turn us into anti-black or some other negative stereotypes they have been accusing us of, they will have won the fight.
They have been trying to ram their agenda down our throats for so long it becomes easy to default to throwing the same back at them, but that will not further our cause.
If we stay calm, cool and polite while sticking to the conservative message, the left will be exposed to next generation voters and to those on the sidelines; and the pendulum will swing back inour favor.
Sorry it’s not the media who is doing that. It’s blacks themselves who are doing it. I am sick to death of blacks blaiming everything that goes wrong in their lives on white people. Until they figure it out for themselves, things are not going to change. As long as they continue to live on the plantation known as the democratic party there lives are not going to get better.

damn.... that’s funny... I don’t care who you are..
IDK. If I was GZ I’d have Glenn Beck type security.. I would NOT have one guy with me. I’d have a crew if you know what I mean.
“Sorry it’s not the media who is doing that. It’s blacks themselves who are doing it.”
And you know that all blacks are doing this to all blacks how?
These black protesters you see on the news are in very small groups because millions of other blacks either did not agree, or did not care, or had better things to do.
I went this weekend to a water park which had a racial makeup of 40-50% black out of the thousands there. None of them acted any different than the whites or other ethnicities.
If I turn on the news, that is not what I see.
“I am sick to death of blacks blaiming everything that goes wrong in their lives on white people.”
That is exactly what the race hustlers want you to feel. Don’t let them get to you.
Romans 12:21
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Or you go around all day with your eyes closed.
Through this whole ordeal they were not able to change him. Way to go George!
““Sorry it’s not the media who is doing that. It’s blacks themselves who are doing it.”
That’s a point well taken and no different than the “moderate” muslims who give their tacit approval to “radical” islam by not stepping up and saying something for fear of reprisals. If there is safety in numbers, then it would behoove the “moderates” to get together and gang up on the “radicals”.
I hope he can claim SYG when he gets sued by state of Florida for interfering.
