Citations issued in Big Ben vs Maine Woman

Woman cited in crash; Big Ben cited for helmet, permit
Monday, June 19, 2006

By Jonathan D. Silver, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Pittsburgh police today announced that a woman involved in last week's accident with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger failed to yield the right of way when she made a left turn in front of his motorcycle.

The woman, whose name was not released by police but who was previously identified as Martha Fleishman, 62, of Squirrel Hill, will be cited, with the fine usually set at $106.50, said police accident investigation Officer Dan Connolly.

Roethlisberger will be cited for failure to have a permit to operate a motorcycle. He also will be cited for failure to wear a helmet, which is required for motorcyclists who have not completed a safety course or who have not completed two years operating a motorcycle with a valid license.

He faces fines totaling $388, Connolly said.

Roethlisberger and Fleishman crashed on Second Avenue at the 10th Street Bridge last Monday. Connolly said the car ahead of Fleishman's turned on a yellow turning arrow but there was no arrow by the time she made the left turn. Both drivers had green lights, which means she had to yield to Roethlisberger, Connolly said. He added that Roethlisberger was traveling 35 mph in a zone with a posted 35 mph speed limit.

Roethlisberger had extensive facial injuries and spent several days in Mercy Hospital.

Police Chief Dominic Costa said police did not want to identify the driver because she has received several threats by telephone. Police are investigating.

Yes, all pro-athletes should live in padded containers in a near-catatonic state during the off-seasons, so as to not jeopardize their team's chances by engaging in silly things such as "having a life" or "enjoying themselves." What, do they think they're supposed to enjoy those $$$ millions they've earned?

:roll:

Jim Rome just mentioned something about Ben Rothlisberger...but I think he's going to talk about him next hour.

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.

That sounds like really good news. The fact that he was concious and talking at the schene is very incouraging
