Police have made a referral to the Serious Incident Response Team after a man was seriously injured in a hit and run this morning.

At approximately 10:35 a.m., police observed a pickup truck with no license plate parked in a parking lot off Yorkshire Avenue Extension, in Dartmouth. As police approached the vehicle, it left the parking lot at a high rate of speed. Police followed the truck and activated lights and sirens to initiate a traffic stop. The truck did not stop and continued toward Windmill Road where it struck another vehicle in the intersection.

A 58-year-old man who was driving the vehicle that was struck has been transported to hospital by EHS with serious injuries.

The truck continued onto the A. Murray MacKay Bridge and has not yet been located. The truck is described as a newer model black Ford F-150 with a tonneau cover. Anyone with information or video of the truck or its driver is asked to call police at 902-490-5020.

The incident has been referred to the SIRT and further inquiries should be directed to SIRT.
