Default help: car broke down

so yea i just got back from an hour walk and its 1 in the morning. while i was driving to my friend's house i heard some griding then the car stopped accelerating, the brakes also went. then the oil light and battery light went on. the radio and headlights still worked though. lucky for me my phone decided to break earlier this week so i couldn't call anyone. so what's wrong with the car? thanks for any responses. btw the car has about 140k miles on it and is lowered, no major mods to it. oh yea and the abs light was also on

you need to find out why its not starting. Engines only need 3 things to run: spark, fuel, and compression. Yours is missing one of those three things. Find out which one and we can go from there. checking the oil level and unplugging the battery will get you nowhere.
