All I've heard is he was taken to the hospital and was bleeding from his head.
First off I am a Cleveland fan. Knowing that I'll say that I'm very sorry to hear this. Especially knowing the type of injury this can do to a team (see: Kellen Winslow Jr) I hope he has a speedy recovery.
That being said, just like Kellen Winslow Jr, Ben Roethlisberger should be fined for his actions and will need to learn from this.
STILL HOPE HE'S OK!!
I may hate the Steelers, but I respect them.

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been in a motorcycle accident in Pittsburgh this morning.
Witnesses told authorities that the player's motorcycle collided with a car near a downtown intersection and that Roethlisberger's head hit the windshield and was bleeding. Roethlisberger has said in the past that he prefers not to wear a helmet when riding.
ESPN.com's John Clayton reports that early indications are the injuries are not life-threatening.
One witness told KDKA television that Roethlisberger was conscious but appeared disoriented before he was taken from the scene to Mercy Hospital.
A Steelers spokesman is at the hospital and confirmed Roethlisberger is being treated there, but wouldn't provide additional details.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
