SALISBURY, Md. (AP) - Salisbury police say a city officer and a suspect in a domestic incident were hospitalized after their vehicles collided.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports police were sent to the scene of a reported domestic dispute Tuesday around 4 a.m.

Police said 27-year-old Michael Victor Rayne was reported to have been involved in a verbal argument with his live-in girlfriend. Police said Rayne broke a window of a neighbor's home.

As officers arrived, Rayne fled in a vehicle.  At about 4:18 a.m., Salisbury Police Officer Zachary Converse was headed to assist with the call when his car and Rayne's collided.

The cause of the collision hasn't been determined.

Converse and Rayne were taken to the hospital with nonlife-threatening but serious injuries.
