What the F***

Yesterday I cut my car on to a very rough start tried to pull off then all my light gages came on and my car cut off while driving! My acura is a 2000 with only 52000 on the dash so the car is or I thought was in great condition can someone please help with an idea of what the problem might be. I have done everything according to the book nothing but 91 or better regular checks.
