Actors Alec Baldwin and Stephen Baldwin were involved in a car accident in East Hampton, New York, after the SUV they were riding in crashed into a tree. Fortunately, both brothers escaped without any injuries.
According to local reports, the accident occurred on October 13 when Alec Baldwin, who was driving his wife Hilaria’s Range Rover, tried to avoid a garbage truck that suddenly cut in front of him. In an effort to steer clear, Baldwin swerved sharply, causing the SUV to veer off the road and strike a tree.
Authorities confirmed that no one was seriously hurt, and no charges or traffic citations were issued. The East Hampton Police noted that the wet and slippery road conditions likely contributed to the crash.
After the incident, Alec Baldwin took to social media to reassure his fans that he and Stephen were safe. He admitted feeling shaken but grateful, saying the damage to the car was unfortunate but secondary compared to their safety.
Witnesses said the vehicle suffered notable front-end damage, but both brothers were able to walk away from the crash on their own. Police officials described the event as a minor accident resulting from a quick evasive maneuver rather than reckless driving.
The Baldwin family has faced several challenges in recent years, but this time, luck and caution helped prevent what could have been a far more serious outcome.
