Editor’s Note: This is a corrected story. An earlier version said that Nova Scotia’s police watchdog will investigate the alleged hit and run. In fact, Halifax police referred the alleged hit and run to the province’s police watchdog.

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, which is responsible for investigating incidents that may have resulted from the actions of a police officer.
