The Blaze
George Zimmerman has not been publicly seen since being acquitted of murder charges in the death of Travyon Martin. But local police in Sanford, Florida, say Zimmerman emerged last week when he actually rescued a person from an overturned truck.
ABC News quotes Sanford Police Department Capt. Jim McAuliffe saying Zimmerman “pulled an individual from a truck that had rolled over.” The rescue occurred near the intersection of I-4 and Route 46, which is within a mile of the area where the 29-year-old shot Martin in February 2012. The shooting, a jury ruled on July 13, 2013, was in self-defense.
It is unclear how this information regarding the car accident came to light. The Orlando Sentinel reported McAuliffe saying the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office is handling the accident investigation. TheBlaze contacted the sheriff’s office for more details but is still awaiting a comment at the time of this posting.
ABC News reported the sheriff’s office adding more detail to the story:
Zimmerman was one of two men who came to the aid of a family of four — two parents and two children — 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.
