   Alec Baldwin crashed his car into a tree while driving in East Hampton on   
   Monday, according to authorities.   
      
   The front of his SUV was dented but Baldwin was unhurt, authorities added.   
   His brother, fellow actor Stephen Baldwin, was also in the car at the   
   time and uninjured.   
      
   Alec Baldwin took to Instagram after the accident and briefly addressed   
   what happened.   
      
   "I just want to post a quick message," he began. "I got all these   
   inquiries about my car thing this morning -- I was in a car accident   
   this morning. I'm fine."   
      
   "My brother, Stephen, was out visiting me," he added, saying they spent   
   the weekend at the Hamptons International Film Festival.   
      
   He said a "garbage truck the size of a whale" cut him off on the road.   
      
   "To avoid hitting him, I hit a tree," he said. "I hit a big, fat tree.   
   And crushed my car -- my wife's car. I crashed my wife's car. I feel bad   
   about that. But it's all fine, and I'm fine and my brother's fine."   
      
   He ended his message by thanking the East Hampton Police Department   
   for "coming to my aid." Baldwin said he also filed a report with them.   
      
   "My wife's car is pretty smashed up," he said. "Pretty big tree, big   
   fat tree."   
      
   He added he would be going to LA to see his family and "can't wait."   
   He also mentioned how he's "still so proud" of his wife, Hilaria Baldwin.   
      
   "Hilaria, I love you more than anything," he said. "I'm very proud of   
   you."   
      
   The East Hampton Town Police Department said in a statement Tuesday   
   that it responded to the accident just after noon on Monday.   
      
   "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, NY," read the statement.   
      
   The police statement noted there were no injuries or summons issues   
   related to the accident and "the contributing factors to the accident   
   were found to be a reaction to an uninvolved vehicle and the slippery   
   and wet roadway conditions."
