Description of the problem	I was driving down a very busy highway on 12/21/20 and my engine completely seized, no warning and incredibly terrifying. The car came to a very sudden stop, and we were very lucky that we were not killed in an accident. My car began smoking and it smelled as if it were burning, we called the fire department immediately. I was unable to start the car again, and i was also unable to switch it to neutral so that i could get out of the busy traffic. Had to call 911 and pray that i was not hit while waiting for them. I tried continuously to start my car so that i could move out of the traffic, but engine completely seized, gear would not shift to neutral, and we were stranded in a very dangerous situation. Once cops came we had to have the car towed 40 miles away and it is now sitting uselessly in the driveway.
