The plow - a privately owned Bobcat not affiliated with the city, - hit the 36-year-old woman in a supermarket parking lot, police told Pix 11.

While the mother died in the hospital of cardiac arrest, ABC Local reports, doctors delivered her baby via emergency c-section. The infant remains in stable but critical condition, police told NBC New York.

J. David Goodman, a crime reporter for the New York Times, tweeted:

The vehicle was reportedly backing up when the woman went down, and police are investigating any criminality, according to ABC.
