The couple pulled from their upturned SUV by George Zimmerman are Dana and Mark Gerstle, MailOnline can reveal.
The rescue took place on Wednesday after a series of frantic 911 calls following the incident on a stretch of Florida highway just yards from where Zimmerman shot 17 year old Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman, acquitted of all counts against him on July 13, has been in hiding since the controversial finding that has ignited America and brought thousands onto the streets of America.
Father of two, Mr Gerstle, 52, was driving onto the off ramp of the highway when he lost control of the vehicle resulting in the terrifying crash that left him, his wife and two children aged eight and four trapped.
Neither he nor his 41-year-old wife chose to comment on their extraordinary brush with the now infamous Neighborhood Watch Captain.
Zimmerman did not witness the accident which took place at 5.47pm but was on the scene shortly afterwards. Though he spoke with his lawyers on Friday he did not make any mention of the rescue.
Speaking to MailOnline Shawn Vincent, a spokesman for Zimmermans attorney Mark OMara said: We spoke with George on Friday and he made no mention of this at all. Thats very typical of George.
He has a history of getting involved .its just the way he is.
There has already been the backlash of people saying this is some sort of PR stunt but it isnt. Weve had it confirmed by the Sheriff.............
Sanford Police Department Capt Jim McAuliffe said that Zimmerman was identified by one of the crash victims as the man who pulled him and his family from the mangled blue Ford Explorer.

How long before the Gerstle’s get their first death threat?
The only thing that Marxist, Mooslim, Kenyan, Steaming Pantload has or will put on Zimmerman is a Bullseye.
I hope we all get to see it.
I think it’s that young thang I’ve seen hanging on his arm lately, keeping him up at night.
I may be mistaken, but I think that I heard a news report that next year Hollywood will be releasing a blockbuster action film involving Superman, Batman, and George Zimmerman.

Clearly, Zimmerman only followed that truck because the tires were black, and it had a hood.
How did he know just where to be and when?
*See tagline
maybe he’ll don a mask and become the Caped Crusader.

It is really strange to me, that Zimmerman would be involved in this right now. I’m glad he and that other guy were there. Good job.
I’m still not clear on where this took place. If it did take place on SR46 at I4 then that would be weird. Probably the most benign intersection you’d ever see.
The first report I read of it actually taking place at the SR417 exit from I4 would be much more plausible as it is a pretty hairy curve.
I really don’t care I’m just trying to figure out how the bozo driver flipped his SUV :)
“Neither he nor his 41-year-old wife chose to comment on their extraordinary brush with the now infamous Neighborhood Watch Captain.”
Not even a thank you. Of course George wouldn’t expect any praise, but I find this really tacky.
Interesting. I didn’t see that one at all.
Whats wrong with Al Sharpton?
