Stanley believes her 9-year-old sister, Fatima Hunter, was trying to avoid the car when she turned into its path.
Hunter was riding her bicycle in the 200 block of Lindley Avenue in the Olney section around 7:30 p.m. Monday when she was hit.
Investigators released surveillance video of the suspect's vehicle, a gold Cadillac SRX.

"The video is disturbing, but we hope it generates a lot of tips," said Philadelphia Police Capt. Mark Overwise. "I have no doubt that after the collision, the driver knew they hit something, possibly seeing the bicycle clinging to their vehicle for half a block and should have stopped."
Fatima was taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in critical condition with injuries to her lower body and lungs.
"We haven't been able to speak to her yet. She has basically been writing out what she has to say but it has been scribble," said Stanley.
Investigators determined the vehicle was registered to a home nearby but no one answered the door when they knocked.
Area residents aren't surprised this happened. They say the intersection of 2nd and Lindley is notoriously dangerous.

"It's kind of unsafe because they race to the boulevard," said Mike Henson. "A lot of people ride up and down the street and race up the boulevard."
Anyone with information is urged to contact Philadelphia police.
