Alec Baldwin had a frightening moment in the Hamptons on Monday when his wife Hilaria’s Range Rover collided with a tree.
The actor, 67, was behind the wheel with his brother Stephen, 59, in the passenger seat, but thankfully both walked away without injury.
Crumpled SUV and Rainy Roads Behind the Incident
The crash occurred around noon on October 13, during rainy conditions along Montauk Highway, according to East Hampton Town Police.
Police Chief Michael D. Sarlo explained that Baldwin swerved to avoid a 2020 Mack garbage truck, ultimately smashing the front of the luxury SUV into a tree.
“No injuries were reported, and no summons were issued,” Sarlo said, citing slippery roads and a sudden reaction to the truck as contributing factors.
Alec later joked that the truck was as big as a “whale,” describing how he had to swerve to avoid it.
Hilaria Shares Lighthearted Memories Amid the Chaos
Hilaria Baldwin took to TikTok in July to share a playful video of the couple driving the Range Rover.
In the clip, she lip-synced to Christina Aguilera while attempting to parallel park, with Alec humorously seated in the passenger seat.
The video highlighted their fun dynamic as they switched places so Alec could finish the parking job, ultimately smiling and nodding along to the music.
Following the crash, Hilaria thanked fans on Instagram for their messages, confirming that both brothers were unharmed.

Stephen Baldwin, though less famous than Alec, is known for roles in The Usual Suspects, Bio-Dome, and The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas.
Stephen is also the father of model and entrepreneur Hailey Bieber.
The Baldwin acting family also includes brothers Daniel and William, making them one of Hollywood’s most well-known dynasties.
