UPDATE: The Volusia County Sheriff's Office has released the name of the man found on Deltona Boulevard this morning. He has been identified as 33-year-old Long Chau Nguyen of Sanford.

Deltona, FL - Traffic detectives are trying to figure out the details behind a fatal motorcycle accident on Deltona Boulevard overnight.

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office says the initial report came in just after 6 a.m. today (April 17th), but the accident itself likely happened sometime around midnight.

It appears the motorcyclist ran off the right side of the road at a left curve near the Enterprise Road intersection, hitting a small row of trees and a power pole, according to VCSO spokesperson Andrew Gant.

"The rider was pronounced dead at the scene and it appeared he had been there for several hours," Gant added.

VCSO has yet to identify him, saying they need to confirm his identity and notify his next of kin.

Deltona Boulevard was shut down to traffic for much of the morning as detectives processed the scene for evidence.

No other details have been released at this point by VCSO.
