Ex-Cuomo adviser killed when Lyft ride ends on highway

DEWEY BEACH, Del. — 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.

Delaware State Police on Wednesday said the ride-hailing driver, who initially fled, was cooperating with authorities and no charges had been filed in connection with the death of 43-year-old Sidney Wolf of Clarksburg, Maryland, WJLA-TV reported.

The crash happened around 2 a.m. Sunday after a group of six friends ordered a Lyft ride from Dewey Beach back to their residence in Bethany Beach, police said.
