Sara Burack, Of 'Million Dollar Beach House,' Dies In Hamptons Hit-And-Run: Police: 'An Unbelievable Agent'

HAMPTON BAYS, NY — A female pedestrian who was struck in a hit-and-run crash in Hampton Bays early Thursday has died — and was identified as Sara Burack, 40, police said.

Burack, of Southampton, was a well-known Hamptons real estate agent who had worked, in past years, for Nest Seekers International and appeared in the 2020 Netflix series "Million Dollar Beach House."

Burack succumbed to the injuries she sustained after being struck by a driver who fled the scene, police said.

Dylan Eckardt, who worked with Burack for almost five years at Nest Seekers, mourned her loss. "She worked right next to me for a long time," he said. "She was an unbelievable agent. She could handle herself in New York as well as the Hamptons. I'm so sorry that this happened. Condolences go to her family."

According to Southampton Town police, at about 2:45 a.m., a 911 call came in regarding a female lying in the roadway on Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays in the vicinity of Villa Paul Restaurant.

Officers responded and found the female unconscious with serious injuries from apparently being struck by a driver who fled the scene, police said.

Hampton Bays Volunteer Ambulance Corps responded and transported the victim to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she died, police said.

Southampton Town police detectives and the New York State Police Department's crash reconstruction unit responded to the scene to continue the investigation, police said.

A portion of the roadway was closed for several hours during the investigation but has since reopened, police said.

Southampton Town police detectives are continuing the investigation and ask that anyone with information about the case call 631-702-2230 or 631-728-3400.
