Roethlisberger Undergoing Surgery

Uh oh, Steeler fans.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is undergoing surgery at Mercy Hospital after he was injured in a motorcycle accident on Monday.

The extent of his injuries are unknown.

"Ben is in serious but stable condition and right now is in the operating room undergoing surgery for injuries he received in this accident," said Dr. Larry Jones, chief of trauma at Mercy. "Before he went into the surgery, he was talking to me and was coherent. He knew where he was and what had happened."

Update: I was driving home yesterday and a DJ mentioned Ben's accident. What was ironic is that he noted that Ben didn't like riding with a helmet and then said he was on Ben's side. He's agreeing that wearing a helmet is annoying, as Ben is getting surgery for serious, preventable injuries received simply because he didn't wear a helmet. What craziness is that?
