COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Officials are searching for a man who they say intentionally rammed into the back of a vehicle, flipping it over and causing injuries to the victims.

Investigators with the Columbia Police Department say 41-year-old Fitzgerald McNeil, also known as Jami Raqib Salaam, is wanted for attempted murder in a traffic collision.

Police Chief Randy Scott says that around 12:30 Thursday morning, a 1999 Ford Explorer was hit from behind by McNeil's 1986 Chevy Suburban on Millwood Avenue.

The female passenger in the victim's vehicle was thrown from the SUV and sent to the hospital with severe injuries.  The male driver was sent to the hospital and later released.

After the collision, McNeil fled the scene on foot.

If you have any information that may help police locate the suspect, you're urged to contact CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
