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.

“It was the guns fault “
“It was the garbage trucks fault “
Apparently so.
So where is the video?
You are correct.
My interpretation of the video is the trucker saw Baldwin trying to pass illegally on the right, drifted over to say “FU, no way @$$hole” and casually forced their car into a tree. The very definition of FAFO. Hope the tree is okay.
Agree.
It finally loaded.LOL
A Hickory Traffic Ticket!
He would’ve been better off just telling the truth. He could have said “Yup, I was in a hurry, tried to go around the truck and hit the tree. I screwed up.” Is that so hard to do?
The truck driver saw a Range Rover in his side view mirror coming at him down the road like a cruise missile and tried to get out of the way.
That is why Baldwin said the truck cut him off. The knucklehead was attempting to pass on the shoulder of the road at 20 miles a minute.

It’s Arec Barrin, so that’s impossible.
He lied? WOW!
Someone must have tampered with his vehicle.
I'd suspect he was driving too fast, didn't realize the truck was slowing, and swerved around the truck on the right. Better that then swerve left into oncoming traffic.
People may not like Alec Baldwin, but while he may have messed up by driving too fast and too close, swerving to the right instead of left and into head-on traffic was the correct call.
So that explains it, The SUV was driving.
No reckless driving charge? No drug/alcohol test? No wonder the investigating officer is a “lovely guy”.
The autodrive feature was drunk.
Baldwin just impugned the livelihood of the truck driver with his lie. Just like he took the life of the woman he shot. Law does not apply to him.
