SINGER Billy Joel was involved in his third car accident in two years today when he slammed into a house on a wet road on Long Island. No one was seriously injured.

There was no evidence that alcohol or drugs were involved and Joel was not suspected of any crime, said Nassau County police Officer Joan Eames.
Joel sustained a small cut on a finger but refused medical attention, Eames said.

Joel was alone in the car, and no one in the house was injured, police said.

A call to Joel's publicist, Claire Mercuri, was not immediately returned.

Last year, Joel was hospitalised after smashing his car into a tree along a Long Island highway. No summonses were issued, and Joel was not breath-tested for alcohol.

Joel escaped serious injury in a crash in East Hampton in June 2002.

He later checked into a substance abuse and psychiatric centre, reportedly after becoming depressed when a respiratory infection forced him to cut short a tour with fellow piano player Elton John.

Joel and model Christie Brinkley, who divorced in 1994, have a teenage daughter, Alexa Ray.

Following last year's accident, Brinkley expressed concern about their daughter riding in a car with him.

Joel, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has had more than two dozen Top 10 hits, including his signature 1974 song Piano Man. The Broadway musical Movin' Out is devoted to his music.
