Newsmax has obtained exclusive dashcam footage that appears to contradict Alec Baldwin's account of how he and his brother Stephen Baldwin were involved in a car crash Monday afternoon.
The 1-minute, 29-second front-facing video, taken from the commercial truck Alec Baldwin claims cut him off, shows the truck making a legal right turn onto Montauk Highway in East Hampton, New York, before Alec Baldwin's white Range Rover comes into view — and moments later, slams into a tree along the roadside.
The footage begins with the truck exiting a parking lot and making a routine right turn.
Roughly 30 seconds in, Alec Baldwin's vehicle appears to attempt to pass the truck on the right, before veering onto the shoulder and striking a large tree head-on.
The video then captures the aftermath, including the Range Rover's crumpled front end.
In a video posted to Instagram late Monday, Alec Baldwin claimed a "garbage truck the size of a whale" cut him off, forcing him to swerve to avoid a collision.
"To avoid hitting him, I hit a tree. I hit a big fat tree and crushed my car — my wife's car," he said.
But the dashcam footage obtained by Newsmax tells a different story.
The truck Alec Baldwin blamed for "cutting him off" does not appear to impede his path.
Instead, the footage shows Alec Baldwin's vehicle attempting to maneuver around the truck after it had already completed its turn.
There is no visible indication that the truck forced Alec Baldwin from his lane, nor any sudden obstruction requiring evasive action. Seconds later, his SUV loses control and crashes into the tree.

(Well, that didn’t take long!)
Excellent
At least he didn’t shoot anyone dead.
Put him in a cell with Mark Sanchez...............
Sounds like he is a Clinton.....................
Yep, he’s a LIAR.
It looks like Baldwin was trying to pass the truck on the right.
And ONE shank
>> How would you like a neighbor like that?
Hey, I wish *I* had the money to buy a house in East Hamptons!
I would never ever live in The Hamptons, or anywhere in New York for that matter. I just wish I had the money. :-)
LOL
Remember that.
Miss ‘ya Rush.
Alec Baldwin has always been an asshole.
😁..................
A white line on the right side of the single lane marks the right edge of that lane, separating it from the shoulder of the road. The shoulder is not a passing lane.
Baldwin was trying to pass on the right shoulder. That is very much illegal. The only time you could legally do that is if the Truck was clearly signaling a left turn. The video proves that Baldwin needs to be issued a traffic ticket.
And that does look like a bike lane or merely a shoulder. I do hope the garbage truck signaled, though, which would make the case a slam dunk.
looks to me like the garbage truck was pulling off the road to empty a garbage can while Baldwin was trying to illegally pass the truck on the shoulder ... either that or Baldwin was tailgating the truck and not paying attention when the truck braked to pull over and he tried to dodge the truck on the right and slammed into the tree ...
At least two reasons:
He was being courteous, Sanitation Pickup Drivers often pull over to allow normal traffic to pass on the left.
In some districts, Sanitation Pickup Drivers will fetch bins for handicapped customers who cannot put them out themselves, my Sanitation company does this.
The SUV did it.
Repeatedly possible!
He’s going to kill someone someday.
