Man arrested over hit-and-run death of 'Gone Girl' actress Lisa Banes

A man has been arrested in connection with the scooter hit-and-run that killed "Gone Girl" actor Lisa Banes earlier this summer.

Banes was struck on June 4 by an electric scooter driver in New York City's Upper West Side neighborhood, suffering a deadly traumatic brain injury.

Brian Boyd was arrested on Thursday, CBS News reports. According to the New York Police Department, the 26-year-old was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and failing to yield to a pedestrian.

Sources for The Daily Post said that patrol cops had recognized Boyd from a wanted poster and made the arrest.

Banes, best known for her role as Marybeth Elliott in "Gone Girl," was 65 at the time of her death.

Her publicist David Williams told ABC7 in a statement that Banes was on her way to visit The Julliard School, her alma mater, when the tragedy occurred. She was crossing the road at Amsterdam Avenue at West 64th Street when she was hit by an electric scooter, according to the NYPD.

Police said that the pedestrian signals were in Banes' favor when she crossed the street. She was pronounced dead 10 days later at Mount Sinai Saint Luke's Hospital.

Williams' statement added: "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."

Along with starring in "Gone Girl," Banes starred opposite Tom Cruise in 1988's "Cocktail." She was also featured on the small screen in "Madam Secretary," "Masters of Sex," "Nashville," and "NCIS."
