Billy Joel Crashes In '02 Mercedes Benz
Anybody have pics of the car?
Billy Joel Stable After L.I. Car Crash
SAG HARBOR, N.Y. (AP) -- Singer Billy Joel was in stable condition early Sunday after his car swerved off the road and struck a tree on Long Island, police said.
The accident occurred around 10:30 p.m. Saturday in Sag Harbor, when Joel lost control of his 2002 Mercedes Benz. The car swerved off the road and struck a tree, said police Chief Thomas Fabiano.
Joel was taken by ambulance to East Hampton Airport and then airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital, police said.
A hospital spokeswoman declined to comment on Joel's condition and said a news conference would be scheduled later in the morning to discuss the accident.
It was not immediately clear whether alcohol was involved, police said.
There were no passengers in the car, Fabiano said.
Witnesses said the crash tore off chunks of bark from the tree and left a trail of skid marks on the road where Joel had been driving.

I just saw pictures on the news. It was somewhat covered with a tarp, but the front was virtually undamaged and the rear a bit cracked up, so I would conclude that he hit the tree with the side of the car. It was a 2002 S-Class sedan, black w/sport package, I believe.

Heard that Christy Brinkley (ex-wife) is asking for a restraining order against Joel NOT to drive around their children.
Supposedly he's been accident prone in cars.
