One woman's decision to order a pizza might very well be what saved her life.

Delivery driver Alex Murray was out delivering pizzas when he was sent to a 75-year-old woman’s home. Murray got out of his car and started to make his way up the icy driveway when he heard someone calling for help.

Murray noticed that the garage was open and went in it to try to figure out what was going on. It was there that he found the woman laying on the freezing ground.

The woman was taking out the trash when she fell and broke her leg. By the time Murray found her, she'd been laying in the cold for almost 40 minutes.

If this woman hadn't ordered a pizza and if Murray hadn't shown up when he did, the woman may have been in a life or death situation. Instead, she spent a little time in the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
