Des Moines police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the victim of a weekend crash. A car and a bicycle collided Saturday afternoon on the capitol city’s east side. The cyclist had severe head injuries, several broken bones and had to have surgery that night at a Des Moines hospital. He’s still in a coma.

Police say the man carried no identification, he’s in his 30s and is Hispanic. So far, no one’s called to report him missing. At the time of the accident, police say the victim had a blood-alcohol level more than four-times the legal limit. The driver of the car wasn’t charged in relation to the wreck, but officers say 31-year-old Tilso Suarez Picon of Des Moines had no insurance and no driver’s license.
