Authorities continue to search for the owner of the scooter.

Actress Lisa Banes, who appeared in the 2014 film Gone Girl, has died after being hit by an electric scooter in New York earlier this month. She was 65 years old. Banes was knocked over by an electric scooter on 4 June. She was on the way to meet her wife Kathryn Kranhold for dinner. The actress suffered a brain injury following the incident and died 10 days later. No arrests have been made, but police continue to search for the owner of the scooter. A representative for the actress told Entertainment Tonight that she had passed away on Monday: "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.” Following her death, Banes' friend Jill Sobule described her as "magnificent, hilarious and big-hearted". She added that she "always helped" her through the hard times. Banes played Rosamund Pike's mother in the 2014 blockbuster film Gone Girl, though she got her start in acting on the stage. In 1981, she won a Theatre World award for her performance in the off-Broadway show Look Back in Anger. Three years later, she received a Drama Desk Award nomination for her role in Isn't It Romantic? Banes also enjoyed a lengthy film and television career, with over 70 credits to her name. The actress appeared in numerous TV shows including Star Trek, Desperate Housewives, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Murder She Wrote, NCIS and Once Upon a Time. She married her partner, Kathryn Kranhold at an intimate ceremony in City Hall a few years ago.
