In a video shared on Instagram after the accident, Alec said, “I’m fine, my brother Stephen was visiting me.” He also expressed gratitude for the TIFF staff, sharing that there were “too many names” to thank everyone involved in the festival.
Then, Baldwin started sharing more details about the accident.
“A guy cut me off in a truck. A big garbage truck the size of a whale,” he said in the video. “It must have been something commercial, taking a way material from a construction site. It was the biggest garbage truck I’ve ever seen.”
Baldwin then shared that, in order to “avoid hitting” the truck, he swerved and “hit a big fat tree.” “I crushed my wife’s car,” he added. “I’m fine, my brother’s fine.” Later, he offered gratitude for the East Hampton police officers who rendered aid after the accident, saying that the officers on scene were “as nice as can be and pleasant about the whole thing.”
He added that his wife Hilaria Baldwin’s car “is pretty smashed up” because of the “big fat tree.”
“I’m going to LA to see my family, can’t wait. Going to California to gather my family out there for a few days. I’m still so proud of my wife. Hilaria, I love you more than anything. I’m fine,” the actor concluded the video.
Alec serves as a co-chair on the Board Executive Committee, according to the festival’s website. The actor returned to the Hamptons after stopping in Buffalo, N.Y., to attend part of the Buffalo International Film Festival on Oct. 11. The actor shared a video of himself eating dinner in Buffalo on Instagram.
The nor’easter has caused major coastal flooding from North Carolina to New Jersey, and shut down flights in Boston and N.Y.C. Heavy winds and rains have additionally caused trees to fall, sometimes obstructing power lines, per the Weather Channel.
