At about 10:24 p.m. on October 18, 2024, Scott Segreaves, Jr., 20, of Zuni, Virginia, was driving on Water Street in Milford Borough when New Jersey State Police Staff Sergeant Nicholas Pryszlak attempted to catch up to his vehicle for a speeding violation.

Both vehicles traveled on Frenchtown Road and turned left onto Stamets Road. Sergeant Pryszlak activated his lights and sirens and followed Segreaves, reaching 73 mph, while Segreaves continued down Stamets Road.

About 45 seconds later, Sergeant Pryszlak lost sight of Segreaves' vehicle, turned off his lights and sirens, slowed to about 23 mph, and used a spotlight to search the area. Segreaves continued down Stamets Road at high speed.

At about 10:26 p.m., Segreaves approached a curve on Stamets Road at 104 mph, lost control, left the roadway near Stamets Road and Gallmeier Road, went down an embankment, struck multiple trees, and overturned.

At about 10:28 p.m., Holland Township Police Department received an automated iPhone voice message saying the owner was in a severe car crash and providing coordinates. Sergeant Pryszlak and Holland Township officers searched the area.

At about 10:58 p.m., Sergeant Pryszlak found the overturned vehicle down the embankment and Segreaves, who had been ejected. Segreaves was pronounced dead at the scene.

A state grand jury later voted no bill, finding no criminal charges should be filed against Staff Sergeant Nicholas Pryszlak.
