Sarah Givens has always dreamed of performing her first ice skating solo. The 10-year-old girl pushed herself for three years in order to reach her goal.

But that dream was abruptly put on hold on Thursday in Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood. Sarah was walking on the 2400 block of Memphis Street when investigators say she was struck by a white SUV that fled the scene.

In a devastating coincidence, Sarah's 14-year-old sister, Kylee, was struck by a vehicle just two days after Sarah's accident. Police say that vehicle also fled the scene.

Sarah suffered a broken leg and a facial injury in her incident.

"What would you say to the person who hit you and kept going?" asked NBC10's Daralene Jones.

"I would tell them that I'm really mad at them," Sarah said.
