ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit police officer stepped in after a pizza delivery driver was injured in a car crash to make sure a still-warm order made it to its destination.
Lincoln Park police Cpl. Joe Sparks tells The Detroit News that Monday's collision sent the Jet's Pizza driver to a hospital with bruises and a sore head. Sparks spotted an oven bag in the wrecked car before it was towed and realized the delivery address was nearby.
The 16-year veteran of the force says he "just figured it was the right thing to do" knowing that "someone on the other end was waiting for their food."
Carl Babik, who got the pizza, tells WDIV-TV he initially thought that he had done something wrong when Sparks showed up with the order.
