Default great.. car broke, whats wrong?

got a friend that drives a brand new 2001 prelude that only has 6000 mileso on it.

he was driving to work today and said he was in 3rd gear going about 70mph went to shift to 4th gear, missed it and nailed 2nd gear, rpms went past redline, car jurked a little. he took it out of 2nd and went to 5th i think he said, check engine light flashed a few times and then about another half a mile the car just dies on him. car does not start normally you gotta hold your foot down on the gas to make it do anything, and it runs rough as hell, engines knocks around everywhere.. what is broken inside the engine that we cant see from something like this?? honda is lookin at the car tomarrow and will fix it cause he bought the warranty w/ it also..

Blown head gasket. Maybe floated some valves because of that misshift. Anybody agree with me?
