The accident occurred around 10:30pm (1530gmt) Sunday night in Sag Harbor. Sag Harbor police say 54-year-old Joel lost control of his 2002 Mercedes Benz. Joel was taken by ambulance to East Hampton Airport and then airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital. A hospital spokeswoman declined to comment fully on Joel's condition and said a news conference would be scheduled later in the morning to discuss the accident. Witnesses say the crash tore off chunks of bark from the tree and left a trail of skidmarks on the road where Joel had been driving. Joel's award-winning career has spanned more than 30 years and includes more than two dozen Top Ten hits, including his signature 1974 song, "Piano Man." He survived a 1982 motorcycle accident on Long Island and went on that year to record "The Nylon Curtain," which received a Grammy nomination for "Album of the Year." Joel was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999.
