Andrew M. Cuomo is on the road? Mr. Cuomo has a well-documented penchant for aiding motorists in distress: He has pushed cars out of snowdrifts, comforted accident victims and even hooked a stranded vehicle onto a tow cable. On Monday, the governor went a few steps further. After spotting a van that was tipped on its side and leaning against a median on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, Mr. Cuomo directed his State Police detail to stop. As partially captured by a video recording that was posted online by the governor’s staff, Mr. Cuomo climbed onto the concrete barrier and, after extricating the van’s driver from his seatbelt with a device used by troopers for that purpose, helped the man down from the damaged vehicle.
