According to authorities, the incident began around 4 a.m. when Bullhead City police reportedly observed a vehicle speeding on Hancock Road.

Authorities later located the vehicle traveling northbound on Highway 95, leading to another pursuit. Officials said the vehicle continued driving and crossed into lanes of oncoming traffic as the pursuit unfolded. Approximately two miles from the Arizona-Nevada border, the vehicle collided head-on with another vehicle driven by Miller, bringing the pursuit to a devastating end and changing his family’s lives forever, leaving them to face an unexpected and devastating loss for the people who loved and cared about him.
Miller suffered fatal injuries in the crash and was pronounced dead after the head-on collision. What had begun with a reported speeding vehicle and an attempted traffic stop had ended with the death of a 32-year-old Kingman man.
