He has a distinctive scar on his right eyelid and on the bridge of his nose as if he recently had stitches, Bloesch said. The bicyclist was riding a blue mountain bike and alcohol is not a factor in the collision, Bloesch said.
Investigators have contacted local high schools and combed through a list of missing persons to try to learn his identity, Bloesch said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Fairfield police’s traffic division at (707) 428-7300.
