Virginia Woman Charged in Hit-and-Run Incident in the Hamptons That Resulted in Sara Burack’s Death
A woman from Virginia has been apprehended in connection with a tragic hit-and-run incident that resulted in the death of Sara Burack, a luxury real estate agent known for her role on the Netflix reality series “Million Dollar Beach House.” The arrest of Amanda Kempton took place on Friday afternoon, with law enforcement officials charging her with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident that led to a fatality. This charge is classified as a Class D felony and carries a potential sentence of up to seven years in prison, as stated by Southampton Town police.
Kempton was held overnight and is set to be arraigned on Saturday at the Southampton Justice Court. This development follows the discovery of the 40-year-old Burack, who was found lying unconscious on the roadside of Montauk Highway in Hamptons Bay around 2:45 a.m. on Thursday. Authorities reported that Burack sustained severe injuries indicative of being struck by a vehicle, including significant head trauma and multiple broken bones.
Initial reports indicate that she went into cardiac arrest at the scene but was revived by first responders prior to her transport to Stony Brook University Hospital. Unfortunately, despite being placed on life support, Burack succumbed to her injuries later that day around 3 p.m.
The circumstances surrounding the fatal crash remain under investigation, with few additional details being available at this time. Burack was not only a prominent figure in luxury real estate but also worked at Nest Seekers International, a renowned firm specializing in high-end properties throughout Manhattan and the Hamptons.
In 2020, Burack gained further public recognition through her appearance on “Million Dollar Beach House,” a series that showcased the competitive nature of real estate agents in closing deals on opulent properties in the Hamptons. Additionally, her professional background included a role as an events and business development coordinator for Social Life Magazine, alongside her extensive volunteering efforts with various nonprofits such as The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the ASPCA.
The community is left mourning the loss of a vibrant individual whose contributions extended beyond her professional accomplishments. The ongoing investigation aims to shed light on the events that transpired during the fatal incident. Media News Source will provide updates as further information becomes available.
