New details have emerged in Alec and Stephen Baldwin’s horror Hamptons crash on Monday.
The 30 Rock star, 67, who was driving his wife Hilaria’s Range Rover with his brother Stephen, 59, as a passenger, slammed into a tree causing severe damage to the vehicle.
The two actors luckily escaped injury in the smash with the police issuing a statement revealing further information about the incident – which took place in treacherous rainy conditions on the side of the Montauk Highway,
East Hampton Town Police Department Chief Michael D. Sarlo told the Daily Mail in a statement: ‘At approximately 12:01pm on Monday, October 13th, the EHTPD responded to a motor vehicle accident on State Route 27, Pantigo Road near Cross Highway.
‘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.
‘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.’

Alec’s white Range Rover appears to have crashed head-on into a tree, which completely smashed up the front of the luxury SUV.
Hilaria shared a humorous TikTok video of the two driving the SUV in July, and Baldwin confirmed in an Instagram video shared on Monday evening that the car belonged to her.
In Monday’s video, Baldwin blamed a garbage truck as big as a ‘whale’ for the crash.
He claimed another drive had cut him off, forcing him to swerve to avoid hitting the truck before he crashed head-first into a tree with his brother Stephen in the car with him.
In a subsequent Instagram video, Hilaria thanked fans for their kind thoughts and clarified that both Alec and Stephen were unharmed.
In Hilaria’s TikTok clip from July, she lip synced to Christina Aguilera’s What A Girl Wants while captioning it, ‘anytime I have to parallel park.’
Hilaria sat in the driver’s seat posing seductively for the camera just as she was about to park, while Baldwin was next to her in the passenger seat with a grouchy expression plastered on his face.
As Hilaria was about to parallel park, the video switched to an exterior shot showing her and Baldwin getting out to switch seats so that he could finish the parking job for her.

Back in the car, the yoga teacher made affectionate eyes at her husband, who now smiled slightly while bobbing his head to the music.
Among the photos of the scene was an image of the garbage truck, but its owner told the publication that the truck’s driver was not at fault in Baldwin’s crash.
The Hunt For Red October star was an expected guest at the Hamptons International Film Festival, which runs from October 5 through 13, as he is the co-chair of its Executive Committee.
‘He has been out there all week, he attended films and moderated panels,’ a source shared with Page Six.
Alec’s brother Stephen also works as an actor, though he hasn’t achieved the level of fame and acclaim that his older brother has.
He’s best known for appearing in 1995’s classic thriller The Usual Suspects, but he also had major roles in 1996’s Bio-Dome, opposite Pauly Shore, and in the 2000 sequel The Flintstones In Viva Rock Vegas.
Stephen is the father of the model and cosmetics mogul Hailey Bieber, who married pop superstar Justin Bieber in 2018.
He and Alec are part of an acting dynasty that also includes brothers Daniel and William Baldwin.

Alec — who celebrity nearly four decades of sobriety last year following years of drug and alcohol abuse — owns a 10-acre estate on Town Lane in Amagansett, nestled comfortably in the Long Island billionaire’s enclave.
The property, located 100 miles from the actor’s family penthouse in Greenwich Village, features a 10,000-square-foot modern farmhouse, a pool, spa, covered porches and a pavilion.
In October 2021, while filming the Western movie Rust in New Mexico, Baldwin was holding a prop revolver that went off and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Baldwin, who strenuously denied pulling the trigger, faced a charge of involuntary manslaughter that was ultimately dismissed by the judge.
However the armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of the same crime and sentenced to the maximum 18 months in prison beginning last March.
Rust ultimately had its world premiere at a film festival in Poland last September before opening in the United States earlier this month to a polarized critical response.
Meanwhile, this January, Baldwin filed a civil lawsuit, accusing several people in the Santa Fe, New Mexico District Attorney’s office of malicious prosecution and civil rights violations after he was charged over the shooting.
Baldwin claimed he had pulled back the hammer of the revolver, not the trigger, but the gun fired anyway.

Director Joel Souza was also injured in the incident.
In the court filing, The Departed star and his legal team accused prosecutors of trying to ‘scapegoat Baldwin for the acts and omissions of others, regardless of the evidence or the law,’ according to the Associate Press.
The case against Baldwin was dismissed in 2024 after it was discovered the prosecution had withheld evidence in the case, and did not share information about or access to live ammunition brought in by a retired police officer who said it could be related to the Hutchins killing.
The ammunition was filed under a separate case number and Baldwin’s legal team was not notified.
After the dismissal of Baldwin’s case, weapons supervisor Gutierrez-Reed moved to have her conviction dismissed or to receive a new trial.
In July, Baldwin’s malicious prosecution lawsuit was dismissed by a judge after both he and the defense failed to file any additional documents or make progress on the case for several months.
But Baldwin’s attorney, Luke Nikas, told the Daily Mail that the judge’s decision to dismiss the case was a ‘non-event.’
‘The court dismissed the matter without prejudice because we have been waiting to prosecute the case,’ said Nikas, who is a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.
‘We have been in good-faith settlement discussions with the parties to the lawsuit, and will be refiling promptly if those discussions are not promptly and favorably resolved.’
