As WLT Report, previously reported on Monday, actor Alec Baldwin crashed his Range Rover into a tree while he was driving through the Hamptons. The crash comes more than a year after Baldwin was cleared of involuntary manslaughter charges stemming from the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during filming of Rust. After crashing his vehicle, Baldwin took to Instagram and claimed a garbage truck cut him off resulting in him to run into a tree. However, a new video obtained by Newsmax contradicts the actor’s claims. Newsmax reported on the Baldwin’s crash exclusively: Newsmax has obtained exclusive dashcam footage that appears to contradict Alec Baldwin’s account of how he and his brother Stephen Baldwin were involved in a car crash Monday afternoon. The 1-minute, 29-second front-facing video, taken from the commercial truck Alec Baldwin claims cut him off, shows the truck making a legal right turn onto Montauk Highway in East Hampton, New York, before Alec Baldwin’s white Range Rover comes into view — and moments later, slams into a tree along the roadside. The footage begins with the truck exiting a parking lot and making a routine right turn. Roughly 30 seconds in, Alec Baldwin’s vehicle appears to attempt to pass the truck on the right, before veering onto the shoulder and striking a large tree head-on. The video then captures the aftermath, including the Range Rover’s crumpled front end. In a video posted to Instagram late Monday, Alec Baldwin claimed a “garbage truck the size of a whale” cut him off, forcing him to swerve to avoid a collision. “To avoid hitting him, I hit a tree. I hit a big fat tree and crushed my car — my wife’s car,” he said. But the dashcam footage obtained by Newsmax tells a different story. The truck Alec Baldwin blamed for “cutting him off” does not appear to impede his path. Instead, the footage shows Alec Baldwin’s vehicle attempting to maneuver around the truck after it had already completed its turn. There is no visible indication that the truck forced Alec Baldwin from his lane, nor any sudden obstruction requiring evasive action. Seconds later, his SUV loses control and crashes into the tree. Here’s the video: NEW: Alec Baldwin blames a massive garbage truck for why he crashed his wife’s car into a “big fat tree” in the Hamptons.

The department reported no injuries and did not issue any tickets, as “the contributing factors to the accident were found to be a reaction to an uninvolved vehicle and the slippery and wet roadway conditions.”
