Netflix star Sara Burack has been killed in a hit-and-run crash in the Hamptons.
Burack, who appeared on the reality show Million Dollar Beach House, was struck on Thursday on a Hampton Bays road by a driver who sped away from the crash.
A bystander called 911 to report an ‘injured woman’ along on Montauk Highway, near Villa Paul Restaurant, just before 3pm, Southampton Town police say.
Officers arrived on scene to find the famed high-end New York City-based real estate agent unconscious and lying in the road.
Burack, 40, was transported to nearby Stony Brook University Hospital and later pronounced dead.
Police have launched a manhunt for the driver, who remains at large. Authorities have not provided a description of the suspect or vehicle at this time.

Burack was previously an agent for Nest Seekers International, a global real estate firm specializing in luxury properties.
She worked primarily in the firm’s New York City and Hamptons market before leaving the agency last year.
Burack also featured in the Netflix’s reality show Million Dollar Beach House, which is set in the Hamptons.
Geoff Gifkins, Nest Seeker’s Hamptons regional manager, says that despite her departure, she kept in contact with her former colleagues.
‘Our thoughts and prayers are with family and friends,’ he told Newsday. ‘Please be kind and respectful as this is a tremendous loss to her parents and close friends.’
Real estate agent Paulette Corsair, who was also a close family friend, told the outlet how she was with Burack just hours before her tragic death.
