The Desperate Housewives star plays Doctor Megan Hunt in the medical show and her real life ended up mirroring the plot.

She tells E! Online, ""I was hit by a bus two weeks before we started filming and broke two fingers, exactly like (Megan's) accident in the pilot (episode).

""I was in Santa Monica, 8:30 in the morning, and my car was totalled, and I'm lucky to be alive... As I was turning, they hit my passenger's side.""

And Delany was left shocked when the driver of the other vehicle approached her: ""The irony is, when I got out of the car the driver said, 'I know who you are! Can I have your autograph?'""
