Newly released footage of Alec Baldwin’s recent car crash sheds a different light on the actor’s side of the story.
A video from a National Waste Services truck’s dashcam, first obtained by Newsmax, appears to show the truck veering right onto the road’s shoulder just before the 30 Rock star’s white SUV passes by on the right and crashes into a tree in East Hampton, New York on Monday, October 13.
Newsmax asserted the new video “contradicts” the Departed actor’s claim.
Baldwin, 67, had said that while he was driving with his brother, Stephen, a “guy cut me off in a truck, a big garbage truck the size of a whale. To avoid hitting him, I hit a tree,” in a video posted to his Instagram on Tuesday, October 14.
As Globe previously reported, the police report backed up his version of events.
“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, New York,” East Hampton Police Chief Michael Sarlo told TMZ on Tuesday, October 14.
In response to the new footage, an East Hampton Police Department spokesman told the Daily Mail, “This video is not from our department. Our report stands as accurate and nothing Mr Baldwin has stated publicly since impacted the responding officer’s report.”
