Ex-Cuomo adviser killed when Lyft ride ends on highway

DEWEY BEACH, Del. (AP) — An ex-adviser to former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was killed in a crash after police say a Lyft driver ordered him out of the car in the middle of a Delaware highway over the weekend.

Authorities on Wednesday said the driver initially fled but was cooperating with authorities. No charges were immediately filed in connection with the death of 43-year-old Sidney Wolf. Delaware State Police say a group of six friends ordered a Lyft ride to Bethany Beach early Sunday, but the driver stopped and demanded that all six passengers get out after a dispute arose. Police say Sidney Wolf got out and was hit by a passing car.

Wolf had been a senior policy advisor for Cuomo in Washington, D.C.
