"I was just sitting in my car and I heard a boom, I turned around and looked and then I saw a car floating," Wright told NBC10 News.
Wright said the SUV appeared to be a Jeep and that he saw the lights of the car go under.
Philadelphia police said the dive team would arrive to locate the reportedly sunken vehicle.
"It is unknown at this time if vehicle was occupied or not," investigators said in a 9 a.m. police report.
By 9:30 a.m., police said they had located the vehicle, which turned out to be a Honda CR-V, Police Marine Unit Lt. Andrew Napoli said.
A spokesperson with the Philadelphia Police Department confirmed that crews do not believe anyone was inside the vehicle or that anyone is missing.
Officials said the CR-V had been stolen.
This is at least the third time in the past month that a car went into the Schuylkill River off the Kelly Drive. Those earlier incidents included a car that went in after a couple accidently put it in gear while police said they were "getting busy."
Tuesday's incident gave the police marine unit an opportunity to hone the team's skills.
"Our best training is actually live jobs we have like this... we just can't through a car in the water and do training on it," Napoli said.
"The divers know what to do... we hook them the best we can," Napoli said.
