A former staff member for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was killed by a passing car, after he was kicked out of a Lyft car by an angry driver in the middle of a Delaware highway.
Sidney Wolf, 43, was fatally struck on Coastal Highway (Route 1) at about 1:44 a.m. Sunday when the driver stopped in the left lane and told Wolf and five of his friends to get out.
“Shocked & saddened to hear this tragic news,” Cuomo tweeted about his former senior policy adviser. “Sid was a phenomenal public servant who worked relentlessly for the betterment of all NY’ers.”
The driver of a Toyota Corolla behind the Lyft, which was possibly a Honda Pilot, switched lanes to avoid the stopped SUV and hit Wolf, who had just gotten out of the rear passenger side and was standing in the roadway.
The other five passengers were uninjured. The driver of the Toyota remained on the scene, but the Lyft driver quickly sped off fleeing the scene. The Lyft driver is still missing and authorities are searching for him.
The Lyft driver had picked up the six friends in Dewey Beach and was taking them to Bethany Beach when he terminated the ride after an unspecified argument. The crash happened south of Anchor Way.
Wolf was a dedicated husband and father to two daughters. He also brightened young kids’ futures by coaching youth hockey.
“This is an extremely difficult time for our family,” Wolf’s family said. “The level of shock and pain we feel right now cannot be measured as we continue to grieve. We truly appreciate the outpouring of love and support we’ve received and kindly request that the family’s privacy is respected as we move through this process.”
The company Lyft, says they are working with full cooperation to aide the authorities, while investigating the crime.
It should happen to everyone who worked for that piece of shit, HOOORRAYY!
