Your accelerator became stuck while driving at 70 mph, and you couldn't slow down or brake the car. After about half a minute, something fell from under the hood and the engine lost all power, forcing you to coast to a stop. Smoke then came from the engine compartment and the car caught fire, causing complete engine destruction. The issue likely involves a mechanical accelerator linkage failure combined with an engine fire, and will require a complete engine replacement or rebuild.
