Alec Baldwin, 67, shared news of the crash via an Instagram video. He explained that while driving, a truck cut him off, leading him to hit a tree in an attempt to avoid a collision. Baldwin described the garbage truck as “the size of a whale,” emphasizing the severity of the situation.
“I crushed my wife’s car. I feel bad about that,” Alec admitted, but reassured fans that they were both okay. He expressed gratitude to the East Hampton Police for their assistance following the crash, which took place on a Monday in East Hampton, New York.

Previous Incidents and Ongoing Challenges
This car accident comes four years after Baldwin’s involvement in a tragic incident on the set of the film “Rust.” In October 2021, a prop gun discharged, resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injury to director Joel Souza. Baldwin faced involuntary manslaughter charges, which were ultimately dismissed.
Hilaria Baldwin has discussed the emotional and physical toll the “Rust” incident has had on her husband. She cited his struggles with survivor’s guilt and noted that he has faced various health issues since that tragic day.
The Baldwin brothers’ recent accident underscores the ongoing challenges Alec continues to face in both his personal and professional life. For those experiencing distress, support is available through various services.
