One insider, who wanted to remain anonymous,
1) One delivery service industry insider, who wanted to remain anonymous, told us that the hike in delivery fees was inevitable due to an increase in demand and a lack of riders.
2) One delivery service industry insider who wanted to remain anonymous told us that the hike in delivery fees was inevitable due to an increase in demand and a lack of riders.
I am not sure but I feel like there should be commas between insider and told for the sentence to make sense.
Or is either one fine to use and do both carry almost identical meaning?
What do you native English speakers think?
Thank you so much as usual in advance.

Sentence 1 is right, but sentence 2 is defensible if you consider "one delivery service industry insider who wanted to remain anonymous" to be the subject. By the way, there is a lack of drivers, not riders.
