A Virginia woman was arraigned Saturday in connection with a hit-and-run that claimed the life of a former Netflix reality show star.
Amanda Kempton, 32, is charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident in which a fatality occurred, NBC News reported. The charges come after an apparent hit-and-run on Thursday that claimed the life of luxury real estate agent and former Netflix star Sara Burack. Burack starred in the Netflix series “Million Dollar Beach House.”
She was 40.
Kempton pleaded not guilty and was released on bail, the reports said.
Deadline reported the accident occurred in Hampton Bays, N.Y. around 2:45 a.m. Thursday morning. Burack was found unconscious on Montauk Highway and taken to Stony Brook Hospital with serious injuries consistent with being struck by a car, police said. She died at the hospital.
Kempton’s attorney said his client believed she had hit a traffic cone and left the scene and went to a friend’s house. Once there, she found Burack’s large, pink wheeled suitcase stuck underneath her vehicle, the New York Post reported.
Burack appeared in the six-episode reality show that aired for one season in 2020. The show featured a group of agents specializing in high-end properties competing to sell luxury homes throughout the Hamptons.
Before her appearance on the show, Burack was a luxury real estate agent in Manhattan and the Hamptons. She also worked as the new business coordinator for Social Life magazine, Deadline reported.
