that doesn't sound like a good thing. If it happened while you were driving then it wasn't a battery.

Do you have any power or lights that come on?

You have evidently suffered a major flameout. Could be out of gas, but generally there is some stumbling, off and on with that. So it sounds like some variety of no spark, no fuel pump,or etc. Hope fully nothing fatal.
