It really should come as no surprise to say this. Today, we have learned that Ben Roethlisberger has been cited in his accident for riding without a valid motorcycle license. He will also be cited for not wearing a helmet. While riders in Pennsylvania are allowed to ride without one, there are certain restrictions. The driver of the car he hit has been cited for failing to yield.

Yesterday, I reported that Ben Roethlisberger had been hurt in a motorcycle accident. Today, we know that he underwent surgery to repair the damage. Four doctors performed the surgery and it lasted some seven hours. According to doctors, there were no serious injuries to his vital organs and all of his fractures were fixed properly. At last report he had a broken jaw, broken nose, many missing and cracked teeth, minor injuries to his knees and other lacerations.

A Pittsburgh TV Station is confirming today that Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was involved in a motorcycle accident. Apparently, according to an eye-witness at the accident scene, he went over the handlebars of the motorcycle, hit another vehicle’s windshield and crashed to the ground. Perhaps the most shocking news was that Roethlisberger was not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle, which is one of the most bonehead things to do.
