NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- “Gone Girl” and “Cocktail” actor Lisa Banes has died just over a week after she was struck by a scooter in a hit-and-run in Manhattan. She was 65.
Her publicist, David Williams, released a statement saying, "We are heartsick over Lisa's tragic and senseless passing. She was a woman of great spirit, kindness and generosity and dedicated to her work, whether on stage or in front of a camera and even more so to her wife, family and friends. We were blessed to have had her in our lives."
Banes was struck by an electric scooter near Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side on the evening of June 4 as she was crossing Amsterdam Avenue on the way to visit the Julliard School, her alma mater, Williams said in an email to The Associated Press.
Banes was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside hospital to be treated for "substantial injuries."
Williams told Entertainment Tonight on Monday that Banes died at the hospital overnight after being critically injured in the collision.
Police on Tuesday said no arrests had been made in the deadly collision.
