An arrest was made in the hit-and-run accident that killed actress Lisa Banes, who died in June after being struck by a scooter.
NYPD said Friday that a New York man from Manhattan, Brian Boyd, 26, was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in a death and for failure to yield to a pedestrian (via the New York Times). Police said that patrol cops recognized Boyd through a wanted poster and that he was taken into custody around 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
Banes was struck on June 4 while crossing the street near Lincoln Center, and she died 10 days later in Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital.
