Alec Baldwin Explains the Incident and Reassures Fans

Later that day, Alec Baldwin posted a self-recorded Instagram video to share his account. Calm but visibly tired, he explained that a large garbage truck cut him off, forcing him to swerve to avoid a collision — ultimately crashing into a “big fat tree” in the process. The vehicle, he revealed, belonged to his wife Hilaria Baldwin.

Despite the dramatic incident, Alec reassured fans, saying, “I’m fine, and my brother’s fine.” He also thanked the East Hampton Police Department for their quick response. Stephen Baldwin’s representatives confirmed he was doing well, and Hilaria Baldwin shared a message of relief on Instagram, emphasizing that everyone was safe.

Alec concluded his update with a heartfelt note, announcing plans to travel to Los Angeles to be with family and expressing deep affection for his wife: “I’m still so proud of my wife. Hilaria, I love you more than anything.” What began as a quiet weekend in the Hamptons quickly turned into a dramatic experience, but thanks to quick reactions and a bit of luck, the Baldwin brothers escaped unharmed.
