Question Can i drive it?

So yestyerday on my way home from work i thoughjt i ran over something, i heard a loud noise under my car. I continued on and when i got to a stop light the car soubnded aweful. I thought a piston or injector broke and was bouncing around inside the block, (that what it sounded like) i got to a gas station and found that a belt shreded in half (long ways) but was stall attached by a small piece, so i was flopping around the engine compartment making lots of noise.
I found out today that the A/C housing broke/fell off and took the A/C belt and shredded the other. I still have two functioning belts but not sure if the car is safe to drive to a shop or if i need to pay to have it towed.
First question is, is the water pump Belt driven or electric? and does anyone know what the belts run?

I had the inner belt on my 2.5TL start to deteoriate and a small piece was flapping and making a noise. I trimmed the piece w/ some sharp scissors and drove for several weeks before I replaced belt when I did the timing belt job.

good luck
