  "account": "Police in Halifax will investigate an alleged hit and run incident involving a truck that was being pursued by city police, according to local reports. The pursuit began when police followed a pickup truck without a license plate after it fled a parking lot in Dartmouth at a high speed. Despite police turning on their lights and sirens, the truck failed to stop and collided with another vehicle at an intersection. The 58-year-old driver of the other vehicle suffered serious injuries and was taken to the hospital.\n\nThe truck, reportedly a black Ford F-150, continued onto the A. Murray Mackay Bridge, which connects Dartmouth to the Halifax peninsula. To date, the vehicle has not been located. The incident was referred to the province’s Serious Incident Response Team by police.",
