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.

Truck driver probably pulled over because he saw a vehicle coming at him at an excessive speed.
I just watched the video three times.
He wasn’t going that fast.
He was not paying attention.
Why would he try to pass the truck on the right?
This is exactly WHY all commercial vehicles, Tesla’s, and even Mrs Woodbutcher now have a dashcam on their vehicle.
It provides video proof of who is at fault.
Baldwin is totally at fault based on this video.
The truck was going slow and had totally established itself in the right lane.
I wonder if the standard is very high for writing a citation that was not witnessed by police. A he said, she said, type of after the fact situation, open to interpretation. By where I live, if the right side of the road near the shoulder or bike lane, etc., has a solid white line, you are not permitted to cross it and pass using the bike lane or shoulder, regardless if the stopped vehicle in front of you has a left turn signal on or not. People do try to pass on the right over the solid white line anyway, but it is illegal and ticket-able. I would worry more about stopping behind a vehicle that was stopped to turn left, and then myself getting hit by another driver coming up who wasn’t paying attention. Especially if I was in a Pinto.

That’s my question, too. It’s not conclusive that what you’re describing actually happened. It may have, we’ll just have to wait to find out.
At any rate, he crashed his wife’s vehicle. He might be in the dog house for a while.
Here’s a question: why isn’t he driving his OWN vehicle? Surely he can afford one….
That backfired on the schiffhole Baldwin
Well, that’s what the author wrote, no?
Anybody’s fault except Alec, he’s too famous to be at fault.
Who could possibly know that trash trucks stop on trash days frequently?
My guess, impatience.
Trash truck picks up at the neighbors and puts on the flashers as if he’s driving a school bus.
I guess as mentioned prior just remembering Rush again and his SUV comments.
I wondered that too
It’s always someone else’s fault every time Baldwin F’s up. He can even shoot and kill people then blame someone else.
I’m shocked!
Not in that instance. That's a designated bicycle path.....
Its called UNDERtaking for a reason.
Fools pass on the left.
Fools pass on the right!
Fools pass on the right is what I ment to say!
Its been one of those days.
