Alexa Kropf Takes Stand as Albany Dirt Bike Hit-and-Run Trial Enters Day 2

Prosecutors focused jurors on the crash’s impact through enhanced video footage.

Overview

  • Kropf, 20, testified she remembers nothing of the April 26, 2024 collision and detailed multiple brain surgeries, months of immobility, and ongoing cognitive and emotional effects.
  • A State Police video specialist presented a timeline of Breyette’s movements and footage showing three bikers riding the wrong way, using sidewalks, running red lights, and the moment Kropf was struck.
  • Breyette, 27, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree assault, leaving the scene of an accident, and two counts of evidence tampering.
  • Prosecutors assert Breyette sold a red Porsche at a loss after the crash to hide evidence, and the motorcycle involved has not been recovered.
  • The defense maintains the crash was unavoidable and questioned Kropf about alcohol use; the judge allowed the inquiry, and testimony is scheduled to continue Thursday.
