Fake emergency lights being used on Bedford County roads, troopers say

BEDFORD COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — State Police are investigating after someone reportedly used emergency lights on their car to make people pull over so they could pass them.

Troopers reported in a release that someone was driving through Bedford County, primarily in the Woodbury and Yellow Creek areas in a two-toned Ford Taurus sedan.

State police said they were called about an incident just a few weeks ago involving the same car activating red and blue emergency lights on their front and rear dash on State Street in Woodbury Township. Troopers noted the vehicle had a spotlight on the driver’s side door and a decal on the rear trunk area.

According to police, the driver is using the emergency lights to force people out of the way so they can pass.
