They were not hurt.Zimmerman spoke with a deputy at the scene and then left, the sheriff’s office statement said. He did not see the crash happen.This is believed to be the first time Zimmerman, 29, has been seen publicly since his acquittal on a second-degree murder charge in the 17-year-old Martin’s death in February 2012.
