A woman has been arrested in connection with the brutal hit-and-run crash that killed real estate star Sara Burack, who starred on the Netflix show Million Dollar Beach House. Virginia local Amanda Kempton was taken into custody Friday and charged with the crime, a class D felony, which is punishable by up to seven years in prison. She was scheduled to be arraigned Saturday at Southampton Justice Court, near where the tragic Hamptons death took place. Burack, 40, was found lying unconscious on Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays, Southampton, in the wee hours of Thursday morning. She had severe injuries and serious head trauma after being struck by a fast-moving vehicle. She went into cardiac arrest on the scene, but was shortly revived and rushed to Stony Brook University Hospital. She died from her injuries that afternoon. Million Dollar Beach House follows a group of eager realtors as they compete to make deals with elite buyers in the Hamptons. Before appearing on Netflix, Burack worked for a luxury firm that juggled homes in the Hamptons and Manhattan. Burack was an avid volunteer who helped out with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
