A man has been arrested in the hit-and-run death of actress Lisa Banes, New York City police said Friday. Brian Boyd, 26, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and with failure to yield to a pedestrian.
On June 4, police said Banes attempted to cross the street in Manhattan when Boyd ran a red light on a motor scooter and crashed into Banes, knocking her over. When first responders arrived, police said, they discovered Banes on the ground with "significant head trauma." They said Banes had fled the scene. Police said Banes was transported to a nearby hospital where she died from her injuries 10 days later. She was 65 years old.
