The driver suspected of killing Sara Burack in a hit-and-run in Hampton Bays, N.Y., was apprehended and charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident, a class D felony punishable by up to four years in prison.
Amanda Kempton, 32, was arrested on Friday, June 20, the Southampton Town Police Department said, reports the New York Post, News 12 and local Long Island outlet Dan’s Papers. The Virginia resident will be arraigned on the charges on Saturday, June 21.
Details about the vehicle that allegedly struck and killed Burack have yet to be released. PEOPLE contacted the Southampton Town Police regarding the arrest, but did not immediately hear back.
Burack, who appeared in the Netflix series Million Dollar Beach House, was fatally injured in the alleged hit-and-run on Thursday, June 19, at approximately 2:45 a.m. She was 40.
The real estate agent was found unconscious on Montauk Highway near Villa Paul Restaurant, Southampton police previously said. She was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she died from her injuries. Burack was a resident of Southampton.
The successful luxury real estate broker was a former agent with Nest Seekers International, located in The Hamptons and New York City, per Greater Long Island.
“My family has a commercial construction material sales business that I spent many years of my life working for,” Burack told Hamptons.com in 2020. “I have always been intrigued by real estate projects and decided to become a broker after my experience as a summer property manager in the summer house I would rent.”
