George Zimmermann would not make it in jail...

But Zim is such a monster.

Authorities say George Zimmerman came to the aid of Mark and Dana Gerstle and their two children after the family's SUV flipped over on a Florida highway.

Authorities in Florida have released the names of the family of four that George Zimmerman helped rescue from an overturned SUV just days after he was cleared of murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office also released audio of the 911 calls on the one-vehicle accident, which happened Wednesday near Interstate 4 and State Road 46 in Sanford, Fla. — the same town where Martin was shot to death in February 2012.

In a statement, the sheriff's office said Zimmerman and another man stopped to help the four occupants of a blue Ford Explorer that flipped on its side. The occupants were identified as Mark and Dana Gerstle of Port Orange, Fla., and their two children.

The driver, Mark Gerstle, was going northbound when he lost control, causing the vehicle to go off the road and roll over, according to the accident report.

By the time a deputy arrived, Zimmerman and another man, whose identity wasn't released, "had already helped assist the family by getting them out of the overturned vehicle," the sheriff's office said in a statement to media outlets.

Zimmerman didn't witness the crash and left the scene after speaking with a deputy, the sheriff's office said.

"We need police and fire. We have a car that just rolled over on I-4 going towards east," one female caller says in an audio recording released by the sheriff's office.

"It looks like the car is getting on fire now," a male caller says. "It's smoking pretty bad."

Later, the same male caller tells the dispatcher: "Everyone seems to be OK. They're walking around."

Authorities said no one was injured in the rollover. The sheriff's office added that the Gerstles "have expressed they are not interested in speaking with the media about this incident."

HEROIC ACT?

The accident happened four days after a Seminole County jury acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Martin on Feb. 26, 2012. Jurors concluded that Zimmerman shot the unarmed, black 17-year-old in self-defense.

Zimmerman has reportedly been in hiding since the verdict, which has sparked protests in cities across the country.

Zimmerman's defense attorney, Mark O'Mara, told FOX 35 he wasn't surprised that Zimmerman stopped to help the occupants of the overturned SUV.

"The timing was sort of unique, but the idea that he would stop to help somebody out in trouble is the George Zimmerman who I've known and found out about his whole life. So the idea that this is now who he is is just in his nature, and I just wish that people would look at this and understand that's who he is," O'Mara said.

Zimmerman's deed was a hot topic of discussion on the Internet. Some, including his brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr., took to Twitter to praise him for a heroic deed.

"George saw a need, he acted. Our parents taught us to help, never to boast. Humility is George's finest trait, Robert Zimmerman tweeted.
