Engine lost all power while on the highway. Was in the middle lane of 3 and all engine power was lost while going 60mph. I was able to maneuver over to the shoulder through traffic without incident but was pretty scary. Engine warning signs were flashing and was told to shut off engine immediately or else possible engine damage would occur.
