Alec Baldwin blamed a hulking garbage truck that was the “size of a whale” for causing him to smash his wife’s Range Rover into a “big, fat tree” in the Hamptons Monday afternoon.

Baldwin, 67, and his younger brother Stephen Baldwin were in a car crash after smacking right into a tree on the side of Montauk Highway in East Hampton.

The brothers, who were born and raised an hour outside the suburban Long Island paradise, were enjoying a cruise in Hilaria Baldwin’s white Range Rover when they careened off course.

The elder Baldwin, though, blamed the fiasco on a garbage truck that was the “size of a whale,” that he said cut him off in a video posted on Instagram.

Where I live all the garbage trucks have multiple flashing lights on the back of their vehicles. Hard to miss unless fog is down to zero...

The tree swerved several times before it hit the drunken Baldwin boys.

The tree deliberately got in the way of Baldwin's car.

It’s not my fault, that stupid squirrel shouldn’t have dropped the acorn there. Then there wouldn’t have been a tree there.

That tree must have jumped up and got in front of him.

🎼 Baldwin, Alec Baldwin,
He’s the greatest guy in history.

He’s about to hit a chestnut tree.🎵
