Actress Lisa Banes is in a critical condition after being involved in a hit-and-run on the streets of New York, her manager has said.
The 65-year-old, who is best known for roles in Gone Girl and Cocktail, was said to walking on the Upper West Side of Manhattan near the Lincoln Centre on Friday evening when the incident occurred.
Banes was apparently struck by what was thought to be a motorized scooter or bike while crossing Amsterdam Avenue on the way to visit the performing arts school Julliard.

“EMS responded to the location and transported the aided female to Mount Sinai Saint Luke’s Hospital, where she remains in critical condition.”
No arrests have been made.
