The accident took place on Montauk Highway in East Hampton, New York, where Baldwin owns a summer residence. Photographs captured Baldwin at the crash scene, appearing flustered as he made a phone call.
Details of the Accident
Baldwin’s white Range Rover suffered significant front-end damage after crashing head-on into a tree. Local police responded swiftly to the scene and assisted the actor and his brother, who were seeking shelter from the rain.
- Location: Montauk Highway, East Hampton
- Date: Monday afternoon
- Vehicle: White Range Rover (wife’s car)
The actor was in the Hamptons attending the Hamptons International Film Festival, which ran from October 5 to October 13, where he serves as co-chair of the Board Executive Committee. Baldwin had been actively participating in festival events, including film screenings and panel discussions.
Reaction and Remarks
In a video posted on Instagram after the accident, Baldwin shared his account of the incident. He mentioned that a garbage truck swerved in front of him, forcing him to veer into the tree. He expressed regret over damaging his wife’s car but confirmed that both he and his brother were unharmed.
Baldwin commended the East Hampton police, particularly Officer Gerken, for their professionalism at the scene. He also made a point to convey his love and pride for his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, despite the unclear context of his mention of her participation in “Dancing With The Stars.”
Background and Recent Developments
Earlier this year, Baldwin celebrated reaching 40 years of sobriety. He has had a tumultuous history in the Hamptons, where he has faced challenges selling his high-end East Hampton home. Notably, the property was listed for $29 million before significant price reductions.
Baldwin purchased the home in 1995 and undertook extensive renovations. Since the tragic “Rust” incident in which he accidentally shot and killed a cinematographer, he removed the property from the market in July 2024 and began filming a reality TV show, “The Baldwins,” at the location.
As of now, representatives for Baldwin have not commented on the recent accident.
