Police say the driver did not stay and left the scene. They were in a gray Nissan with a sunroof and one black wheel on the driver's side.
Hayley's mother said that she moved from New Jersey to Philadelphia about one year ago and works for a local hospital.
"Hayley is a strong person," she said. " Hayley is a phenomenal athlete. She's definitely a one-of-a-kind, independent person. If you met Hayley, you could certainly say you'll never forget Hayley."
Her mother told NBC10 that it could take a year before they know the full outcome of her brain injury.
