    Alec Baldwin won't face any legal consequences following his car crash in the Hamptons

    The former 30 Rock star, was driving a white Range Rover SUV in East Hampton, New York on Monday (13.10.25) with his brother Stephen Baldwin in the passenger seat when he swerved to avoid a garbage truck and police have now issued a report on the incident, in which they confirmed there were no "summons issued"


    Michael D. Sarlo, Chief of Police of the East Hampton Town Police Department, told Us Weekly magazine: "At approximately 12:01 pm on Monday, October 13th, the EHTPD responded to a motor vehicle accident on State Route 27, Pantigo Road near Cross Highway.

    "A white 2023 Range Rover, operated by Alec Baldwin, with passenger Stephen Baldwin, was found to have struck a tree on the Eastbound shoulder of the roadway while avoiding the turning action of a 2020 Mack commercial truck, registered to National Waste Services out of Bay Shore, NY.

    "There were no injuries reported or summons issued and the contributing factors to the accident were found to be a reaction to an uninvolved vehicle and the slippery and wet roadway conditions."

    The 67-year-old actor had blamed a "garbage truck the size of a whale" for the accident, which "totally crushed" his wife Hilaria's care.

    He said in a video shared to Instagram: "I was in a car accident this morning. I'm fine. My brother Stephen was visiting me on Long Island and we spent the weekend out there for the film festival [Hamptons International Film Festival] ...

    "This morning I was in this car accident, this guy cut me off in a truck. A big garbage truck ... A garbage truck the size of a whale ... I've never seen a garbage truck [so big]. It must have been something commercial for taking away material from construction or something...

    "It was the biggest garbage truck I'd ever seen ... anyway... to avoid hitting him, I hit a tree. I hit a big fat tree and crushed my wife's car ...

    "I crushed my wife's car, I feel bad about that but it's all fine. And I'm fine and my brother's fine ... "

    Alec went on to thank the emergency services for their help at the scene, but insisted the car is a write off.

    He said: "Thank you to the East Hampton Police Department for coming to my aid. They came and we filed a report with them. Officer Gerken. Lovely guy ..

    "My wife's car was pretty smashed up. Big tree. Big fat tree."
