Actors Alec And Stephen Baldwin’s Vehicle Collides With Tree In Hamptons-Area Crash
Alec and Stephen Baldwin were involved in a car crash in the Hamptons on Monday, October 13. The brothers, known for their roles in Beetlejuice and The Usual Suspects, respectively, were reportedly in the area to attend the Hamptons International Film Festival, according to PEOPLE.
Alec was the driver and Stephen was the passenger in the vehicle at the time of the crash. Their white Range Rover SUV collided with a tree in the East Hampton area.
Page Six obtained pictures and footage from the scene, reporting that the hood of the vehicle “appeared significantly damaged” following the crash. The outlet reports that Alec, who did not appear injured, spoke to a police officer who responded to the scene.
Baldwin’s representative and the East Hampton Police Department had not responded to Page Six‘s request for comment before the publication of their report.
Alec Baldwin Posts Update After Accident, Shares How He And Stephen Are Doing
Later on October 13, Alec Baldwin posted a video on Instagram about the crash. He confirmed that he and Stephen were in town for the film festival.
According to the actor, while driving through East Hampton, they were cut off by another vehicle, which he described as “a big garbage truck.”
“A guy cut me off in a truck. A big garbage truck the size of a whale,” Alec said. “...It must have been something commercial, taking away material from a construction site. It was the biggest garbage truck I’ve ever seen.”
Alec claimed that to avoid hitting the garbage truck, he veered off the road and crashed into “a big fat tree.”
He said that the car actually belongs to his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, who competed on the current season of Dancing with the Stars. Hilaria danced with professional dancer Gleb Savchenko for four weeks before their elimination from the competition on October 7.
Alec said Hilaria’s car “is pretty smashed up,” but he and Stephen are both fine.
Alec ended his video by thanking the East Hampton Police Department. He shared his plans to head to Los Angeles to be with Hilaria and his family. “I’m still so proud of my wife,” he said. “Hilaria, I love you more than anything.“

Later on Tuesday (October 14), Michael D. Sarlo, the Chief of Police at the East Hampton Town Police Department, told Us Weekly:
“A white 2023 Range Rover, operated by Alec Baldwin, with passenger Stephen Baldwin, was found to have struck a tree on the Eastbound shoulder of the roadway while avoiding the turning action of a 2020 Mack commercial truck, registered to National Waste Services out of Bay Shore, NY.”
Chief Sarlo added, “There were no injuries reported or summons issued and the contributing factors to the accident were found to be a reaction to an uninvolved vehicle and the slippery and wet roadway conditions.“
