Austin Breyette testifies in his dirt bike accident trial
The defense team has completed presenting their case in the trial of Austin Breyette, who is accused of striking University at Albany student Alexa Kropf with his dirt bike in 2024 and fleeing the scene. Breyette emotionally testified in court, sharing his perspective on the events leading up to and following the collision. Prosecutors, on the other hand, argue that Breyette's actions were reckless. The incident occurred just after midnight on April 27, 2024, when Breyette came into contact with Kropf while riding his dirt bike. Despite Breyette's account of the moments leading up to the collision and his reaction afterward, Kropf sustained serious injuries and underwent an extended period of hospitalization. Prosecutors have raised concerns about the legality of Breyette's dirt bike for street use and his initial dishonesty with law enforcement. The trial, which took place in Albany County Court, is expected to move into closing arguments on Thursday morning.
