A wanted suspect remains at large following a high-speed pursuit that resulted in a collision on the Dumbarton Bridge, injuring a Menlo Park police officer. The suspect, whose name and physical description have not been publicly released, is connected to an ongoing mail theft investigation in Emerald Hills and holds multiple outstanding felony arrest warrants. According to authorities, the chase began Wednesday afternoon near Bay and Willow roads in Menlo Park. The suspect was driving a gray GMC Acadia when officers initiated the pursuit. The chase proceeded eastbound onto the Dumbarton Bridge, where the suspect’s vehicle collided with an uninvolved motorist near the bridge’s midpoint and toll plaza. The pursuing officer sustained injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment; the officer’s current condition has not been disclosed. No injuries were reported for the driver of the second vehicle. Following the collision, the suspect abandoned the scene and continues to evade capture. Eastbound bridge lanes were temporarily closed but have since reopened. The Menlo Park Police Department, in coordination with the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, is actively searching for the suspect. Investigators are reviewing collision footage and vehicle descriptions to locate the gray GMC Acadia. Residents with information regarding the suspect’s whereabouts or the vehicle’s location are urged to contact the Menlo Park Police Department or the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office tip line. Authorities emphasize that the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous due to the outstanding felony warrants. The investigation remains ongoing as law enforcement continues to track the individual across the South Bay region.
