People no doubt drove past the scene of the "Zimmerman rescue", why did no witnesses speak?

The accident that we are told Zimmerman rescued a family from happened on a busy highway. Whenever there is an accident on a busy highway there are people who slow down to gawk and look at the accident scene, I can not for the life of me understand how one of the most recognizable faces in the news can stand on the side of the highway rescuing a family from a car without a single person saying anything about it for four days.

How did every single person driving by the scene of the accident and gawking it miss the fact that George Zimmerman was there? I am not aware of a single Facebook or any talk from anyone that they spotted George Zimmerman at the accident. If someone can cite me a witness that said anything about the incident in the four days following the accident before the police came out and reported it I would like to hear about it.

Please explain to me how they were able to keep everyone quiet for four days about a rescue by a face as well known as George Zimmerman's on the side of a busy freeway with dozens if not hundreds of cars driving by and looking at the scene. I know I would not be able to keep quiet if I saw something that crazy, and I am trying to figure out how everyone else was able to.

Go ahead and call me a "conspiracy theorist", but I can not for the life of me understand how a heroic rescue like this could happen on the side of a busy highway without anyone talking about it for four days.

If people see a famous face when they are out and about they often talk about it, George Zimmerman is one of the most recognizable faces in America right now and we are supposed to believe that everyone who saw him kept their mouths shut for four days. Seeing George Zimmerman rescuing a family from a car crash is not something you see everyday, are you honestly saying that you would be totally quiet if you witnessed this? You think all the other passersby would be just as quiet as you? Yeah, just the guy who has been plastered through the media for months rescuing a family from a burning vehicle, nothing to see here. Are you serious?

I would come to a screeching halt, whip out my iPhone and start instagramming all of my contacts with pictures. Obviously there was no crash, no rescue, and this whole think is a Koch brothers-financed PR initiative to boost Zimmerman's image, which will result in lower taxes and more free-trade agreements as well as the approval of the Keystone pipeline, or something.

as I've driven by, not once did I ever pay attention to the faces of the people rescuing someone.

Not once.

I'm looking at the vehicles.

Satan himself could be out there pulling people from cars and I wouldn't know it.

The chances of a person as well known as him being able to stand on the side of a busy freeway right next to the scene of an accident everyone is staring at anyways without a single person spotting him do not seem very high to me.

Because I am having a hard time figuring out how you think he was pulling people from cars without standing of the side of the busy road. It seems far more likely that the Sanford Police are lying than it is that George Zimmerman was involved in a heroic rescue effort in full public view on a busy freeway without anyone noticing for four days.
