PITTSBURGH -- Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be cited for failure to wear a helmet and not having a motorcycle license after an accident last week left him with a concussion, broken jaw and nose.



Roethlisberger and the driver of the car he crashed into on June 12 both had the green light, but the driver of the vehicle will be cited for failing to yield, police said Monday.

Bill Cowher tells ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning that Big Ben's accident was a tough lesson. But he expects the Steelers QB to come back this season more motivated than ever. Listen

Only licensed cyclists can ride without a helmet in Pennsylvania.



Roethlisberger was traveling 35 mph in a posted 35 mph zone, said officer Dan Connolly. There were no mechanical problems with either vehicle, he said.



Police Chief Dominic Costa said the woman driving the car had received some threatening phone calls, which police were investigating.

Roethlisberger had seven hours of surgery to repair his broken jaws and other facial bones. Doctors have said tests showed no brain injuries, although there was a mild concussion. He also lost two teeth and chipped several others.



He was discharged Wednesday night from Mercy Hospital and apologized to the team, his fans and family in a statement released Thursday. He also said that he would wear a helmet if he rode a motorcycle again.

No one deserves to have this happen to them, but you might as well ask for it with all of the dumb stuff he did leading up to this accident (no helmet, liscense).

PEACE

God help him if that happened. He probably just looked like he said the wrong thing to Chuck Norris and Chuck was feeling gentle at the time.

my sister in law talked to him the other day, and said that you can barely even notice anything
