Police say the truck did not stop when the police vehicle turned on its lights and sirens, and it struck another vehicle at an intersection.
A 58-year-old man driving the other vehicle sustained serious injuries and was transported to hospital.
The truck, which is described as a black Ford F-150, continued onto the A. Murray Mackay Bridge connecting Dartmouth to the Halifax peninsula and has not yet been located.
Police referred the incident to the province’s Serious Incident Response Team.
