Alec Baldwin blames garbage truck the size of a ‘whale’ for crashing wife Hilaria’s car

Alec Baldwin assured his fans he was fine following his car crash in the Hamptons on Monday.

Baldwin explained in an Instagram video Monday night that he was with his brother Stephen when he crashed his wife Hilaria’s white Range Rover into a tree.

Alec said a huge garbage truck cut him off and he swerved to avoid hitting it.

“I crushed my wife’s car, I feel bad about that but it’s all fine,” he said.

“My brother Stephen was visiting me. And we spent the weekend out there for the film festival,” he said, referring to the Hamptons International Film Festival.

“This morning I was in a car accident, this guy cut me off,” he continued. “A big garbage truck … a garbage truck the size of a whale … it was the biggest garbage truck I’d ever seen … to avoid hitting him, I hit a tree. I hit a big fat tree and crushed my wife’s car.”

He expressed regret at damaging Hiaria’s vehicle.

“I crushed my wife’s car and I feel bad about that,” he said. “But it’s all fine and I’m fine and my brother’s fine.”

Alec said he was going home to Los Angeles and professed his love for Hilaria, 41.

“I’m still so proud of my wife,” he said, seemingly referring to her recently getting eliminated on “Dancing With the Stars.”

“Hilaria I love you more than anything and I’m very proud of you,” he added.

In pictures from the scene of the crash, Alec, 67, spoke to a police officer and a large blue disposal truck was also at the scene.

There was significant damage to the Range Rover, which had a cracked hood due to the impact with the tree.

A source told Page Six that Alec has been in the area for the Hamptons International Film Festival, which started on Oct. 5. The closing night was Sunday, Oct. 13. 

The actor is a co-chair on the Board Executive Committee.  

“He has been out there all week, he attended films and moderated panels,” the source told us.

Alec took a break from the Hamptons festival on Saturday to pop over to the Buffalo Film Festival, where he shared video of himself eating dinner in Buffalo, NY.
