CBS News Detroit caught up with Bryanna Fantozzi, the Door Dasher who ended up having her order delivered.
"First thought on my brain after we got hit. I've got this ladies stuff in my car, she needs it," said Fantozzi. Door Dash is the 23-year-olds lone source of income. She's also 6 months pregnant with her second daughter.
"And when he just chuckled and said yes, I was like oh my God thank God," Fantozzi said as she recalled her interaction with the responding officers.
