The man accused in the hit-and-run crash that killed “Gone Girl” actress Lisa Banes was slapped Monday with upgraded charges — including homicide, which could land him in prison for up to 15 years.
Brian Boyd, 26, who allegedly mowed down Banes on an electric scooter June 4 on the Upper West Side before fleeing, pleaded not guilty Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court to a five count-indictment.
The new charges are second-degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and failure of a driver to exercise due care. If convicted, he could get as little as no jail time or a maximum of five to 15 years in prison.
Boyd was initially arrested on charges of leaving the scene of an incident without reporting and failure to yield to a pedestrian.
Surveillance video shows that Banes, best known for her role in the 2014 murder mystery “Gone Girl,” had the walk signal when she stepped into the crosswalk on Amsterdam Avenue at West 64th Street and was struck by Boyd, who had blown through a red light, court papers allege.
Banes and Boyd tumbled to the ground, the footage allegedly shows. Boyd stood up, picked up his scooter, walked over to the 65-year-old actress “lying face-down and bleeding from the head” then drove away, according to the criminal complaint.
The Juilliard graduate was rushed to St. Luke’s Hospital where she died 10 days later of a traumatic brain injury.
Banes, who has graced Broadway stages and played Tom Cruise’s older love interest in the film “Cocktail,” was visiting from Los Angeles and on her way to meet a friend for dinner.
After the deadly accident, Boyd rode to Bolt Bike Shop in Harlem to have the scooter repaired, the complaint alleges.
Boyd was arrested in August when patrol cops recognized him from a wanted poster.
He is being held in lieu of $30,000 cash bail.
