Collision Course.

On the evening of January 25, 2003, Billy Joel smashed his Mercedes-Benz into a tree in Sag Harbor, New York. The singer was taken to a local hospital where he was reportedly treated for facial lacerations and then released on January 26. In June, 2002, Joel was involved in another car crash; shortly afterward he checked himself into a substance-abuse rehab center. The day after the crash Joel's ex-wife Christie Brinkley was seen snapping pictures of Joel's wrecked car, leading to speculation that the ex-model was gathering evidence in order to take legal action to prevent Joel from driving with their 17-year-old daughter Alexa.
