One solo bike officer hit a slippery spot near a curve in the road before crashing. Police say two other officers lost control of their bikes while trying to avoid the accident.

One officer had internal bleeding and remained at The Queen's Medical Center in critical condition. The two other officers were treated and released.

Police did not release their names.
