Alec Baldwin gives health update after car accident with brother Stephen in East Hampton

Alec Baldwin confirms he and brother Stephen are safe after crashing into a tree in stormy East Hampton

Alec Baldwin and his brother Stephen Baldwin were involved in a car accident in East Hampton, New York, on Monday, October 13, after their vehicle struck a tree during severe weather conditions affecting the greater New York City area.

According to reports from local authorities, Alec, 67, was driving a white Range Rover SUV when the collision occurred. The vehicle’s front end sustained significant damage, but both brothers were seen exiting safely with no visible injuries. They were in town attending the Hamptons International Film Festival, which concluded on the same day.

Alec Baldwin later addressed the incident in a short video posted to Instagram, confirming that both he and Stephen were unharmed. “I got all these inquiries about my car thing this morning — I was in a car accident this morning. I'm fine,” he said.

He went on to explain that the crash occurred after a “garbage truck the size of a whale” cut him off, forcing him to swerve. “To avoid hitting him, I hit a tree,” Baldwin said. “I hit a big, fat tree. And crushed my car — my wife’s car. I feel bad about that. But it’s all fine, and I’m fine and my brother’s fine.”

Baldwin thanked the East Hampton Police Department and Officer Gerken for their assistance and confirmed that a report had been filed. “My wife’s car is pretty smashed up,” he added, noting he planned to travel to Los Angeles to reunite with his family.

The actor expressed gratitude towards his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, concluding: “Hilaria, I love you more than anything. I’m very proud of you.”
