Samsula, FL - The Volusia County Sheriff's Office lost an officer earlier today (June 2) in a fatal vehicle/bicycle accident. Florida Highway Patrol reports that 58-year-old Senior Deputy Frank Scofield was traveling northbound on his bicycle on CR-415 approaching the Pioneer Trail intersection around 7:40 a.m.

According to witnesses, a van driven by 75-year-old Lajos Toth of Lake Helen, was headed eastbound on Pioneer Trail but failed to stop at the intersection, which has a flashing light, along with four-way stop signs. Deputy Scofield was t-boned by the van.

Charges are pending against Toth as the investigation continues.
