AceShowbiz - "Gone Girl" actress Lisa Banes was a victim of a hit-and-run accident. The 65-year-old star, best known for playing Marybeth Elliott in the 2014 movie, was crossing a road on her way to meet wife Kathryn Kranhold for a dinner party in New York on June 4 when a driver on a motorized scooter ran a red light and collided with her, sending her flying across the road.
The actress was rushed to hospital, but suffered a traumatic brain injury in the accident and was unable to recover. She was pronounced dead on 14 June. "We are heartsick over Lisa's tragic and senseless passing," her rep confirmed her death. "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."
Two months later, a suspect behind her hit-and-run death was arrested. A 26-year-old man named Brian Boyd was taken into police custody on August 5 and charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and failure to yield to a pedestrian.
