The Walking Dead longtime crew member Amy Blanc Lacy dies after hit-and-run

A longtime script supervisor on The Walking Dead has died after a hit-and-run in Atlanta, US.

Amy Blanc Lacy died aged 62 on September 5, just days after the Toyota Prius she was riding in with her two sons was struck by another vehicle, resulting in all three being rushed to hospital.

A man has been charged with homicide by vehicle in her death, the Atlanta Police Department have said.

Buck Rollins, 31, is said to have turned himself in to the Fulton County Jail and was charged with homicide by vehicle, hit and run, reckless driving and speeding.

Local police said he was driving more than 90mph in a 45mph zone and left his Hyundai Elantra at the scene, according to an arrest affidavit seen by People.

Rollins was reportedly spotted on video removing his golf clubs from the car and ‘walking away casually from the scene of the accident’.

The Walking Dead star Khary Payton took to Instagram to pay tribute to the longtime show crew member.

‘Amy. You’ve always been an angel,’ he wrote. ‘I’ll be looking for you in all the little beautiful things. Love and miss you.’

Erin Lee Carr, who worked with Lacy on Murdaugh: Death in the Family, wrote their own tribute on Instagram.

‘I, along with hundreds of my colleagues, spent countless hours with her this past year. While she was ostensibly our script supervisor, she was so much more.

‘Amy was the bright light available to all of us each day. She always had a hug, a giggle, a new fact to share. She treated everyone with absolute kindness.’

A veteran script supervisor, Lacy worked on Halt and Catch Fire, MacGyver and Loki, among other TV shows and films, with over 30 credits on IMDb.

Lacy had most recently completed work on script supervising the TV movie Ethel & Ernie.

She worked on 137 episodes of the hit zombie apocalypse show, of a total of 177 that were made.
