Steelers: Big Ben Injured In Motorcycle Accident
(KDKA) PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Steelers have now confirmed that Ben Roethlisberger was injured in a motorcycle accident on Second Avenue, near the intersection with the 10th Street Bridge.

The accident happened around 11:30am.

According to an eyewitness, he was not wearing a helmet when he flew over the handlebars and hit his head on the windshield of a car. The witness tells KDKA he said his name was Ben and seemed groggy.

She says he was bleeding from his head.

He has been taken to Mercy Hospital.

At this point, officials are not yet commenting on the victim's condition

Do you think this will teach him to wear a GAWD DAMNED HELMET when he is riding his GAWD DAMNED motorcycle?

I adore Pittsburgh...even though I only spent 3 months there. Steelers, Pirates and Penguins are still dear to my heart  <3 (oh sorry)

I ride cycles often..owned 1 before..but darn it, it only makes sense to wear a helmet.  :'((

Copied this part from Yahoo's story on the accident:

The 24-year-old Roethlisberger has said in the past that he prefers not to wear a helmet when riding his motorcycle. He has pointed out Pennsylvania's 35-year-old state law requiring helmets to be worn was amended to make helmets optional.

In May 2005, Steelers coach Bill Cowher lectured Roethlisberger on the dangers of riding without a helmet.

"He talked about being a risk-taker and I'm not really a risk-taker. I'm pretty conservative and laid back, but the big thing is to just be careful," Roethlisberger said at the time. "I'll just continue to be careful. I told him we don't ever ride alone, we always ride in a group of people, and I think it makes it even more safe."

The radio says Ben broke his jaw and lost his teeth among other injuries. :o

[Blu]

A guy I know works for Steelers front office says he'll be ok...and he's fined $1 mil.

[nanners]

Ben is fined??? wtf for??

[Homer]

I don't know how they will fine him. The only stipulation in his contract was he could not ride the bike during the season. At least that's what being reported.

There is also a rumor that ESPN is reporting there is knee damage that occurred when he hit the ground.
