“To avoid hitting him, I crashed into a tree,” he said. “I hit a big, fat tree. And I crushed my car, my wife’s car. I crashed my wife’s car. I feel bad about that. But everything is fine, I’m fine and my brother is fine.”
He ended his message by thanking the East Hampton Police Department for “coming to my aid.” Baldwin said he also submitted a report to them.
“My wife’s car is pretty totaled,” he said. “Quite a big tree, a big fat tree.”
He added that he was going to Los Angeles to see his family and “I can’t wait.” He also mentioned that he is “still very proud” of his wife. Hilaria Baldwin.
“Hilaria, I love you more than anything,” he said. “I’m very proud of you.”
The East Hampton Town Police Department said in a statement Tuesday that it responded to the crash shortly after noon Monday.
“A white 2023 Range Rover, operated by Alec Baldwin, with passenger Stephen Baldwin, was found to have struck a tree on the shoulder of the eastbound highway while avoiding the turn of a 2020 Mack commercial truck, registered to National Waste Services in Bay Shore, New York,” the statement read.
The police statement noted that there were no injuries or citation issues related to the crash and that “contributing factors to the crash were found to be a reaction to an uninvolved vehicle and slippery, wet road conditions.”
