EXCLUSIVE: The family George Zimmerman rescued from horrific car wreck on Florida highway last week - less than a mile from where he shot Trayvon Martin dead

  • Mark Gerstle, 52, and his wife, Dana, 41 - were pulled from the wreck by Zimmerman just days after his acquittal

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 Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara said: ‘We spoke with George on Friday and he made no mention of this at all. That’s very typical of George.

‘He has a history of getting involved….it’s just the way he is.

‘There has already been the backlash of people saying this is some sort of PR stunt but it isn’t. We’ve had it confirmed by the Sheriff.’

Don't know if this has already been posted, but it's the official confirmation GZ was at the crash scene:

Here's @SeminoleSO's statement on #GeorgeZimmerman's involvement in rescuing a family from a crash last week: "On Wednesday, July 17 at approximately 5:45 p.m., the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) responded to a single car accident in the area of 1-4 and SR 46 in Sanford, Fla. A blue Ford Explorer SUV had travelled off the road and rolled over. There were four occupants inside – two parents and two children. SCSO’s responding deputy reported that when he arrived, two men - one of whom was George Zimmerman - had already helped assist the family by getting them out of the overturned vehicle. Zimmerman was not a witness to the crash and left after making contact with the deputy. There were no report of injuries to the vehicle occupants"

Laura Wilcox is still at it.... :95

Traybots still don't understand... Life does not have an "erase and rewind" button.

It is silly to pick out any past point in time and babble about what would have been different.....

"Murder" is accepted as fact... but the rescue is "alleged" *sigh*

Just thinking the only thing better than George helping rescue those people would have been if the people in the SUV were Crump, NatJack, Parks and Sybrina. What a predicament that would have been.

Zimmerman: Good Samaritans and Racial Injustice

Image

The Seminole County Sheriff's office today released a statement confirming that last Wednesday, four days after being acquitted of murder and manslaughter, George Zimmerman helped free a family of four from a rollover accident.

After spotting the vehicle on the side of the road, George grabbed a fire extinguisher from inside his truck, thinking a fire might break out, and with another man, freed the trapped family before first responders arrived at the scene.

The driver of the vehicle identified Zimmerman as the man who pulled him to safety. Officers spoke with Zimmerman who then left the scene.

Was Zimmerman ‘Profiling’?

Patterico has a long post today rebutting claims that George Zimmerman was engaged in “racial profiling.” The simple facts of the situation were this: Black teenage boys were committing burglaries at the townhouse community, Zimmerman had been appointed captain of the neighborhood watch, and this resulted in him making a number of 911 calls reporting suspicious activity by black teenage boys.

As with so much else in this story, the truth was actually known — or at least, it was knowable, if anyone cared to look it up — because the press reported it.Reuters, April 25, 2012:

[O]ne black neighbor of the Zimmermans said recent history should be taken into account.

    “Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. I’m black, OK?” the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. “There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood,” she said. “That’s why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin.”

This may or may not change anyone’s basic opinion of the situation, but there is no excuse for accusations based on ignorance. ...

When I watched the very first media interview of Sybrina, it was obvious to me that she did not know anything about her son. As reporters are wont to do, they asked many questions about her son who just lost his life, and Sybrina could not answer those questions.

It's so obvious that this is not about justice for Trayvon, it's about the 2nd amendment and SYG/Castle Doctrine laws.
