American actor and film producer, Alec Baldwin, got into a car accident in East Hampton, New York, on October 13, 2025, when he crashed his wife Hilaria’s white Range Rover into a tree.
Luckily, Baldwin and his brother Stephen Baldwin, who was riding shotgun, walked away unharmed.

Alec later took to Instagram to explain what happened, blaming the crash on a large garbage truck that cut him off.
He described the truck as “the size of a whale,” saying he had to swerve to avoid it, which caused him to hit the tree.
In an Instagram video, Alec Baldwin broke down what happened before the crash. He said, “This morning, I got into a car accident. Some guy cut me off in a truck — a huge garbage truck. I mean, a garbage truck the size of a whale.” He added, “To avoid hitting him, I hit a tree. I hit a big fat tree, and crushed my car — my wife’s car.”
Even though the front of the Range Rover took a hit, Baldwin reassured fans that he and his brother are fine. Alec also apologized for wrecking Hilaria’s car and thanked the local cops for helping out at the scene.
The crash happened during a nor’easter that was hitting the greater New York City area, which likely made driving more difficult. Baldwin was in town for the Hamptons International Film Festival, where he serves on the executive board.
Alec Baldwin’s life has had its share of high-profile drama, including the 2021 on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the filming of Rust. He faced charges over the incident, but after the hearing, Baldwin was found not guilty and all charges were dropped.
The movie itself faced challenges as well. It had minimal promotion, and when it finally hit theaters, fans gave it a lukewarm reception.
