George Zimmerman Helps Family Out of Overturned SUV (VIDEO)

George Zimmerman helped a family of four escape an overturned SUV last week, just days after he was cleared of all charges in the death of Trayvon Martin.

Deputies responding to the wreck at approximately 5:45 p.m. on July 25 found Zimmerman and another man already helped the couple and their two children out of the flipped vehicle according to the Associated Press.

"George Zimmerman pulled me out," firefighters were told by the unidentified driver said Sanford Police Department Cat. Jim McAuliffe.

A report out of the sheriff's office said Zimmerman spoke with a deputy at the scene of the incident and then was allowed to leave.

The Ford Explorer reportedly ran off the road and rolled over with the family inside.

Zimmerman did not see the crash happened according to the Associated Press.

"Zimmerman was not a witness to the crash and left after making contact with the deputy," the statement said according to USA Today.

The incident took place not far from where Zimmerman, 29, shot Martin, 17, back in February 2012.

A jury of six women acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges on July 13. The decision set off a number of protests across the nation which was highlighted by the "Justice for Trayvon" rallies held on July 21 in over 100 U.S. cities.
