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?
:'((
Thank you Tara..
can you say I"m stupid for not wearing helmet??

Thanks Homer.
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."
He's in sugery now. stable condition...Has bleeding inside his head

The radio says Ben broke his jaw and lost his teeth among other injuries. :o
A guy I know works for Steelers front office says he'll be ok...and he's fined $1 mil.
Ben is fined??? wtf for??

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.
Quote from: nanners on June 12, 2006, 12:33:57 PM

Breach of contract. Most athletes have motorcycle stipulations, as well as, playing sports outside of their league (like pick-up basketball).
Wonder if would made a difference if he'd been wearing helmet..
and looks like Bens career is just about over. Didn't he just make a commerical for Chunky soups with his mom recently?

His career is fine.
KDKA just said they are not sure if he did indeed hurt his knee..

There was some speculation about this last year. He has no clause in his contract in regards to his motorcycle..The organization wanted it to be added after that Browns player effed himself up...but the only thing he's not allowed to do is ride without a helmet during the season. I guess mini-camp is not the season. Ass.

He was slated to start filming that commercial this week. Maybe his accident was fated...so that he could avoid the curse!
foxx, I feel for you. It's never fun when something like this happens to one of your favorite players.

I have heard good things this afternoon and early evening...He should be okay for the season. The knee injuries were mostly lacerations and some bruising...apparently, after his face hit the winshield of the car, his knees were the first thing to hit the ground.
*crosses fingers....
I'm right there with u foxx
I just feeling like shouting :OO :OO :OO :OO :OO >:(( >:((
wonder if itll effect his play.

some people would buy anything...including junk and garbage.
Who in the hell has 4 grand just lying around...and uses said 4 grand to buy AN EMPTY BOX? Dumbasses.
Oh, and Ben actually snuck out of the hospital last night using a side exit. Guess they didn't want the reporters to see how effed up his now-not-so-pretty face is...

I timed it just right. I made a note to be extra bitchy in case I got too nice. Gawd... Did that make sense? And, I wanna say something in this thread...
I didn't understand everyone's pissy assy-ness. But, I thought about it.. I'm a Libra (hence, the name) and I always weigh both sides of an issue. Now, if my beloved Peyton Manning did something sooooo stupid, I'd be pissered, too. So there.

Yeah...but they would have had to be at 18 exits, 24 hours a day...The doctors at the press conference said that he wouldn't be released until the next day...so I guess they had no reason to suspect he would sneak out!
I'm glad he got out with out all that news coverage.. Gawd its like he's the friggin prez or something..Let him drink his shakes in private.. WAY to much news coverage about him.He wrecked, he's an idiot, end of story. >:((
