Three Officers Injured in Atlanta Accidents | Atlanta Accident Attorney

Three police officers from the Atlanta area sustained injuries in separate car accidents Saturday, January 10, according to Jay Black of the WSB Radio website.  One of the crashes occurred when a driver pulled out in front of a police officer on Peachtree Road near Lakeview Avenue.  Although the police cruiser struck the other vehicle, the driver turning left was at-fault for making an improper left turn, and it is suspected that the driver may have been under the influence of alcohol.  Two women passengers were injured along with the officer.  In a second accident, an officer was run over by an SUV while directing traffic downtown near the Georgia Dome.  According to Black, he was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment of back pain.  The other crash occurred on I-285 when an officer fell from his motorcycle during a traffic stop.  Black mentions the slick streets caused by rain in his report of the accident-filled day in Atlanta.
