Sid Wolf (43), former adviser to New York’s scandalized governor, Andrew Cuomo, died in a tragic highway incident in the United States on Sunday.
Wolf and five friends are said to have ordered a taxi from the company Lyft in the state of Delaware on the US east coast on the night of Sunday.
According to the police, an argument must have arisen between the driver and the passengers on the motorway. The driver then allegedly stopped in the middle of the left lane on the motorway and ordered all the passengers out of the car.
