The suspect cops say hit and killed “Million Dollar Beach House” star Sara Burack thought she hit a traffic cone her lawyer reportedly told the court. Saturday

Amanda Kempton — the woman who was arrested and booked on suspicion of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident — made her first court appearance in the Hamptons … and, the New York Post reports her attorney, William Keahon, argued his client thought she hit a cone.

Keahon reportedly said it was foggy, and Kempton didn’t see Burack … adding she only realized she hit a person when she went to a friend’s house and found Burack’s pink suitcase lodged under her car.

As we told you … Burack was killed by a hit-and-run driver in the Hamptons early Thursday morning around 2:30 AM — with a family source telling us she was struck along Montauk Highway.

Burack — who appeared on the only season of ‘MDBH’ back in 2020 — suffered severe head injuries and multiple broken bones. She was found shortly after the incident by someone in the area who called the paramedics.

Sara was then rushed to a local hospital … but, her scans showed no brain activity — and she was taken off life support at around 3 PM Thursday. Burack was 40.
