Lisa Banes was almost killed by someone who mowed her down with a scooter and fled the scene out in New York City … TMZ has confirmed.
Law enforcement sources tell us … the “Cocktail” actress was struck late Friday evening on the Upper West Side near the Lincoln Center — where she was reportedly on her way to meet up with her wife and some friends for dinner … and was passing through a cross-walk.
We’re told she had the right of way … when someone on an electric scooter of some sort blew past a red light and slammed into her — and then made an escape without stopping to help or call the police. Per reports, the scooter is described as red and black.
Our sources say 911 was called and EMS arrived on the scene to find Lisa on the ground with severe head trauma. She was transported to Mount Sinai Saint Luke’s Hospital shortly thereafter, where we’re told she remains in critical condition. Word is she’s in the ICU.
No information has surfaced about the suspect’s description — but we’re told cops are on the case now and are trying to hunt down the culprit. An investigation is underway.
Banes is 65 years old, BTW. Her family is asking for prayers, and for any help to track down the party responsible.
