PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- State Police are on the lookout for a man they say is accused of impersonating a police officer.

Police say that a woman was pulled over by a dark Ford F-150 truck along State Route 22 near the Imperial Exit on Thursday, January 21 around 9:30 p.m.

The truck showed flashing white and red lights from its roof.

After the woman pulled over and stopped her vehicle on the side of the road, a man approached the vehicle and asked if she knew why she was being pulled over.
