Locked engine ?
It was running as good as always but suddenly it just turned off while going 30mph down the street... I have no idea what's wrong with but every time I try to start it, it doesn't even turn it just makes a weird clicking sound. Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be ?
Dead battery?
Do the lights dim out when you hit the starter?

Sounds like low battery on the vid. Dying while driving sounds like possible alternator failure. Try jump starting? Any other observations like different fuel, going through high water? Let us know what did you find. Hope its something simple

Dead alternator and then your battery drained. Same thing happened on the beater truck a few weeks ago. Dying while running is the clue.

Locked engine ?
Went out to buy a new battery for the car and it still won't turn on, making the same noise as well. Going to check if the engine is locked tomorrow morning... wish me luck
