(WSB Radio) Even the police aren't immune to the problems with slick streets.

Three Atlanta police officers were injured in three separate automobile accidents on Saturday, authorities said.

A police spokesman said a driver was detained after turning left in front of an officer in the 2600 block of Peachtree Road near Lakeview avenue Saturday night.

"A vehicle made an expected left turn, an improper left turn," Officer James Polite with the Atlanta police department told WSB. "The cruiser struck the vehicle. Two people were hurt inside, one possibly ejected."

Police think the driver may have been under the influence . He is expected to be charged. The two women passengers were taken to Grady Hospital in stable condition.

Earlier Saturday evening, a cop was run over near the Georgia Dome.

"We had an officer directing traffic downtown, he was struck by an SUV and taken to Grady with some back pain," Polite said.

The first happening on I-285 when a motorcycle officer fell off his bike during a routine traffic stop.

He was released from the hospital .
