A two-year-old girl was recovering Saturday from being hit by a car in Queens the previous day, as police sought the driver who sped away from the scene of the accident.

Police say the incident happened shortly after 9:30 p.m. Friday at Rockaway Boulevard and 85th Street in Woodhaven.

The family identified the girl as Jaylein Peralta, and said she was staying with relatives when she managed to get out of the house and wander into the street.

Police say the car was driving along Rockaway Boulevard when Peralta was hit.

"Everybody was screaming. Whoever lived in the house was screaming, and the mother had the baby cradled in her arms, screaming," said neighbor Susan Mennes.

"She couldn't see her, because maybe all the blood on her face, but she could hear her. She was conscious at the moment, calling, 'Mama, mama, mama," said Peralta's aunt.

The struck girl was taken to Jamaica Hospital in critical condition.

By Saturday evening, Peralta was still in critical condition with no fractures or broken bones, but in need of plastic surgery on the left side of her face, according to her aunt.

Peralta's aunt said that the girl's mother is a cashier at a grocery store down the block from the site of the accident and that the girl had taught herself how to open and unlock doors.

As of Saturday evening, police had no description of the driver or car and are asking any witnesses to come forward.

Surveillance video from a nearby car dealership caught the incident on tape, but police asked NY1 not to air the contents as it may interfere with their investigation.

"It was blurry, you couldn't even - it happened so fast all you saw was a blur," said Joe Fruit, whose camera caught the incident.

Neighbors told NY1 that they frequently see children from the home playing in the street late at night.

One neighbor said his wife even called 911 after his wife saw a small child from the home wandering the street alone.

"They were saying that sometimes the parents sometimes leave the latch open and the girl goes wandering about," said one neighbor.

"Many times they're playing in the road, all the time. Late at night - 9, 10, 11 o'clock - they're on the road, no adults," said neighbor Ravi Persaud.

Police say Peralta's family is not facing criminal charges.
