EAST HAMPTON, New York — Alec Baldwin and his brother, Stephen, escaped serious injury Monday when they crashed their vehicle into a tree.
In a post on Instagram, Alec Baldwin said he and his brother are OK. He said he crashed his wife’s Range Rover while trying to avoid a garbage truck that had cut them off.
“This morning, I was in a car accident. A guy cut me off in a truck, a big garbage truck the size of a whale,” said Baldwin, 67. “To avoid hitting him, I hit a tree. I hit a big, fat tree. It crushed my wife’s car.
“I crushed my wife’s car; I feel bad about that,” he said. “It’s all fine; I’m fine. My brother’s fine.”
TMZ reports the company that owns the garbage truck says the crash was not the fault of its driver.
USA Today reports Baldwin and his 59-year-old brother were in town to attend the Hamptons International Film Festival.
