A well-known fashion stylist was killed instantly when a garbage truck hit her about a block away from her home on New York’s Upper East Side.
The Daily Mail reports that Laurence Renard was crossing First Avenue at East 90th Street when the truck made a sharp left onto the avenue and hit her. Passersby waved traffic around Renard’s body until an ambulance arrived, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Renard is perhaps best known as a stylist for Victoria’s Secret. She also styled advertising campaigns for Abercrombie and Fitch shot by Bruce Weber, who released a statement saying that Renard “was a really lovely girl, who just had a lot of good energy and excitement about working in the fashion industry.”
Investigators arrested the garbage truck’s driver, 23-year-old Diego Tapia-Ulloa, on suspicion of not having a valid license. An eyewitness told the Mail that he rounded the corner so fast that Renard “never saw it coming. She didn’t stand a chance.”
Renard split her time between her work in New York and her family in Miami. She was 35 years old.
