Part 2/12:
The incident took place during a Nor’easter, a common winter storm affecting the Northeastern U.S., which creates hazardous road conditions. Baldwin reportedly was driving around noon, an unnecessary risk given the slick and windy roads, particularly in the open farmland of the Hamptons, where roadside buffers are minimal. Eyewitness footage later surfaced, contradicting Baldwin’s narrative, showing the crash was not caused by a garbage truck he was allegedly trying to avoid, but rather suggests reckless driving.
