Billy Joel signing autographs for fans BILLY JOEL STABLE AFTER CRASH Singer Billy Joel is in stable condition after his car swerved off the road and struck a tree near Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York. 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.

Various of the plant of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corp STORYLINE: Police arrested seven former senior officials of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation on Thursday on suspicion of professional negligence resulting in death and injury. They are also under suspicion of filing false reports on defective vehicle parts related to a fatal truck accident in Yokohama in 2002. The seven include Takashi Usami, 63, former chairman of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corp., who was vice president of Mitsubishi Motors at the time of the accident, and Akio Hanawa, 63, a former Mitsubishi Motors managing director. Earlier on Thursday, police raided the offices of Mitsubishi's truckmaking affiliate. Investigators with empty boxes arrived in two police vans, filing into the headquarters of Mitsubishi Fuso on Thursday morning. The seven are suspected of trying to shirk responsibility for an accident in which a 29-year-old woman was killed when she was hit by a wheel that came off a passing Mitsubishi truck after a hub connecting the wheel to the axle broke. The truckmaker blamed poor maintenance in a report to industry regulators even though executives were aware that there were defects in the hubs of some of its vehicles, Kyodo News quoted investigative sources as saying. Mitsubishi Fuso was spun off from Mitsubishi Motors in January 2003, and the seven executives reportedly under investigation worked for the Japanese automaker at the time of the accident in January 2002. Police were also preparing to seek criminal charges against Mitsubishi Motors for allegedly failing to implement adequate safety measures, according to local media reports. Authorities are investigating dozens of wheel-separation accidents involving Mitsubishi trucks dating back more than a decade. More than two years after the fatal accident, Mitsubishi Fuso announced in March plans to recall 220,000 trucks after acknowledging that a design flaw could cause the wheel hubs to crack. The Tokyo-based automaker, which is 37 percent owned by DaimlerChrylser AG, was shaken by a scandal four years ago when it admitted that it had concealed owner complaints from industry regulators to avoid having to order a recall.

Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport, the world's busiest, opened 12 special de-icing pads for planes. Delta Air Lines cancelled 300 flights and expected to cancel 30 to 40 more today. Some arriving planes waited two hours to get to a gate while departing aircraft queued up to be de-iced. Sleet and freezing rain fell south of the snow band. Driving conditions are treacherous, worsened by a hard freeze overnight. Two deaths were blamed on icy roads in Aiken County, South Carolina, near Augusta. Georgia transportation officials deployed long-dormant snow trucks, spreading fine gravel and salt on major roads to prevent accidents. Spokeswoman Karlene Barron said bridges in the central part of the state were especially dangerous. All state offices in counties affected by the snowy weather in Georgia are closed. The state is experiencing the heaviest snowfall in 10 years. State offices were ordered closed this morning because rural roads in many areas were causing travel problems. The counties affected are generally in the middle Georgia area northward to the Atlanta area. Snow is continuing to fall in the state. although by 9 a-m the snow had finally stopped falling in the Atlanta area.
