Police say the SUV was cut off by another driver who entered the lane directly in front of her, causing her to lose control and hit an embankment.
The vehicle overturned and ejected the mother, who was pronounced dead at the scene. She has been identified as 44-year-old Michele Muccio of the Bronx.
Crews rushed to extricate her 16-year-old daughter from the overturned car. She was taken to Jacobi Hospital where she is listed in stable condition.
Police say the other vehicle involved in the accident left the scene and the driver still is being sought.
So there is no description of the car.
