While driving approximately 10 miles per hour while approaching train tracks the vehicle shut off the entire instrument panel lights came on when I tried to accelerate it wouldn't do so. I had just enough momemtium to get me over the tracks. I pulled onside the shoulder shut the car off completely. When I tried to cut on car again it shut immediately off. I sat there 10-15 mins and it cut back on. When I started driving it again it cut off again after 5 mins. This went on for almost and hour for me to get home which was only 1/4 mile away. Now when I try to cut it on it shutters and cuts off. The engine shakes uncontrollably. All of this happened on a main street.
