Romy Lauer Charged in Hit-and-Run Incident

Romy Lauer, the 20-year-old daughter of former NBC anchor Matt Lauer, was involved in a hit-and-run accident in the Hamptons over the July Fourth weekend. After crashing her Jeep Wrangler into a fence and sign, she fled the scene but left her license plate behind, which led police to her identity. Authorities were alerted by a neighbor who heard the crash around 4 a.m. on July 5. Romy has been issued a summons for leaving the scene of an accident, with high-profile attorney Edward Burke Jr. representing her. The incident occurred shortly after Romy posted a TikTok video celebrating the holiday with friends. This event adds another chapter to the Lauer family's public scrutiny, following Matt Lauer's dismissal from NBC amid sexual misconduct allegations.
