Banales hit three people at Massachusetts and North College avenues on March 9, 2024. Brandon James Breedlove, 27, died following the crash. At sentencing Friday, March 7, Banales said he was "extremely remorseful." He said he made a series of unfortunate decisions. Banales also said, "Brandon sounds like an incredible person.
