NASH COUNTY, N.C. -- Nash County Deputies are looking for a man they say chased his estranged wife and rammed into her car.

A detective driving down NC 581 near West Old Spring Hope Road Friday spotted two cars running a stop sign at high speed.

The detective tried to stop the cars, but one of the drivers, 39-year-old Rodrick Cooper, crashed into the other car then sped away from the scene.

Deputies found the victim seriously injured from the wreck.

They determined that Cooper and the victim were estranged spouses and that the woman had been trying to escape her husband after a fight.

A warrant is out for Cooper's arrest.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Nash County Sheriff's Office at (252) 459-4121.
