Alec Baldwin and Stephen Baldwin are marking themselves as safe after they were involved in a car accident that "smashed up" Hilaria Baldwin's Range Rover.

Within hours of TMZ reporting that the Baldwins' car smashed into a tree in East Hampton, New York, on Oct. 13, Alec took to Instagram to describe the incident in detail.

"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," the 67-year-old actor said in a video. "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 continued. "It's all fine; I'm fine. My brother's fine."

See Alec and Hilaria Baldwin's romance through the years

Hilaria and Alec Baldwin (here at the Gotham TV Awards on June 2, 2025, in New York) met in 2011, married in 2012, and went on to have seven kids. Here's a look at their relationship through the years.

Stephen, 59, was in town because the brothers had gone to the Hamptons International Film Festival over the weekend.

Alec went on to thank the East Hampton Town Police Department "for coming to my aid," specifically shouting out Officer Gerken as a "lovely guy." USA TODAY has reached out to the police department for comment.

The "30 Rock" alum then shifted his focus to wife Hilaria, who was recently eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars." He said, "I'm going to LA to see my family. Can't wait," adding, "Hilaria, I'm very proud of you."
