snopes.com: Cops Deliver Pizza After Driver Crashes



Claim:   Two Portland, Oregon, police officers followed up on a pizza delivery after the delivery driver crashed his car.

Example:   [Collected via Twitter, September 2014] 


Origins:   On 1 September 2014 in Portland, Oregon, a Pizza Hut delivery driver was involved in a crash during his shift.

However, two Portland police officers went above and beyond in the course of their duties to ensure no citizen went hungry, obtaining the undelivered pizza order from the scene of the crash and delivering it to the home for which it was intended. 

It is not clear whether Michael Filbert and Royce Curtiss, the officers depicted above, responded to the Pizza Hut driver's accident directly. What we do know, though, is that the two men responded to the scene of the missing dinner. The picture was taken by the surprised Pizza Hut customers, who had already called to report a missing pie and received a replacement from their Pizza Hut outlet.
