After a call to the public to help identify a teenage boy injured in a crash on Christmas Eve, San Diego Police (SDPD) said he was reunited with his family.

Hours after they released his picture on Wednesday, he was identified as Dayonte Broughton.

The 16-year old was injured in a crash around 6:40 p.m. on Dec. 24 on Imperial Avenue and South 47th Street in Lincoln Park.

According to the SDPD, the teenager had been riding his bicycle northbound on South 47th Street when he was struck by a vehicle.

He hit his head on the curb and suffered a serious injury, police said. He was not wearing a helmet.

Police did not find any form of identification on Broughton and were unable to gain access to his phone. They could not find a match through fingerprints or facial recognition.

There were also no missing person or runaway juvenile reports found that may be related to this case.

The family told NBC 7 there had been a miscommunication—one side of the family believed Broughton was with the other. He had been biking to another family home when he was involved in the crash.

"To see him like this is devastating. Everyone is praying for him, that's he's going to pull through. All we can do is ask for prayers," his aunt Kellee Williams said.

Broughton had been alone in a hospital room at Scripps Mercy Hospital since Christmas Eve but was fortunately reunited with his family Wednesday evening.

Police say the driver of the SUV that struck Broughton will face DUI charges.
