The actor told police that a garbage truck ran him off the road, prompting an October 2025 car crash in the Hamptons. Dash cam video from that truck undercuts his story.
The 67-year-old actor had claimed he was forced off the road by a huge garbage truck, but the video paints a different picture.
The footage, filmed from inside the garbage truck he blamed, shows the truck turning safely at a junction with no sign of cutting him off. Moments later, Baldwin’s Range Rover can be seen on the right side of the road before suddenly veering off and slamming into a tree.
Police later confirmed the video didn’t change their report, saying, “Our findings stand as accurate.” Investigators stressed that there was “no criminality” involved in Alec Baldwin’s accident.
Instead, detectives said the main causes were the Hollywood icon’s “reaction to another uninvolved vehicle” and the “slippery, wet road conditions” caused by heavy rain from a Nor’easter storm.
Police and media reports often state that bad weather or another outside factor “caused” a car crash. In most cases, something like bad weather is a contributing cause and not a substantial cause.
Many factors contribute to the winner of an election. But the bottom line is that more people voted yes than voted no. So, the number of votes is the substantial cause.
Usually, the substantial cause of a car crash, as is the case in the Baldwin car wreck, is driver error. It appears that Alec Baldwain was driving too fast for the conditions and he was unable to react to another vehicle’s movement, forcing him off the road.
As this story illustrates, excessive speed increases the risk of a crash and the force of a collision. Baldwin’s excessive speed reduced his reaction time. His excessive speed also caused him to run off the road and hit a tree instead of wavering slightly while still on the road.
If driver error, such as excessive speed, substantially causes a car crash, a personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles can obtain compensation for victims in court. This compensation usually includes money for economic losses, such as medical bills, and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering.
Video footage is often the most compelling evidence in a civil claim. As long as the footage is properly authenticated, a camera is like an eyewitness that cannot be incorrect or biased.
Other electronic evidence in a vehicle collision matter includes the Event Data Recorder. This onboard computer, which resembles a commercial jet’s black box flight data recorder, measures and stores vehicle speed, steering angle, and other operational information.
A Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, often working with an accident reconstruction professional, puts these bits of evidence together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. The end result is a compelling picture that convinces jurors to award maximum compensation.

The dash cam footage showed the garbage truck turning safely while Baldwin’s SUV suddenly veered off the road and crashed into a tree.
No. Investigators confirmed there was no criminality involved in the incident.
A substantial cause directly leads to a crash, while contributing causes like bad weather only add to the conditions.
Video footage and Event Data Recorder (EDR) data, such as speed and steering angle, can help lawyers reconstruct what really happened.
