Failed belt tensioner....
Consequence of a snapped belt, I suppose? Run a tensioner stop next time. Check this:

A little preventive maintenance goes a long way, just recently replaced the tensioner, picked one up on Amazon for $75 delivered, OEM identical replacement. purchased Ways polyurethane replacement bushings and tensioner stop before replacing it. Mine had not gone bad but it had 80k on it, put a ATI damper not long ago for same reason, it had not gone yet but was inevitable.
