(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.

As a general rule, people riding motorcycles are not real high up on the food chain if you know what I mean. They wouldnt consider it "COOL ENOUGH" to hear a helmet!!

Of course there may be a FEW exceptions, but 90% of motorcycle riders couldnt beat my 8 year od son in a spelling bee!!

2PLAYSMAX · Jun 12, 2006

dont think it will affect his season from what little info i am hearing

sounds much better than a career/life threatening injury that it could have been

TTinCO · Jun 12, 2006

No helmet, starting NFL quarterback, on a motorcycle = Idiot

D2bets · Jun 12, 2006

If he makes it out without serious injury he is one lucky mofo. How anyone, esp someone with that much to lose, can ride w/o a helmet is mind-boggling.
