Oil pressure sensor and car shut off

Hi, first post ever. I am sitting in the drive thru at the bank and my 2015 ford escape titanium 2.0l starts reving in park and the oil pressure light turns on. The car then shuts off and won’t turn on again. No radio or anything, can’t shift into nuetral. Any ideas? Waiting for a tow as we speak!
Literally stuck in the drive thru lane.
Did you check the oil level as if it is low the light may come on and the engine shut down as a safety measure.
Worst case scenario is that the engine has seized due to lack of oil. Is it cranking when you attempt to start it?
It could also be a fuel pump issue and nothing to do with engine oil or even a battery problem.
