Electrical Failure Problems of Mercury Grand Marquis

During height of the rush hour at 4:00 pm I was traveling on NJ turnpike at 65 mph in the middle lane, started to hear a clicking sound. All of a sudden the car's engine stopped, had no power steering and the entire electrical system failed, (the car's battery was replaced in 12/2010) . Directional signals, and emergency flasher did not work, nor could I lower the windows. I was able to coast to the shoulder of the road when a slow moving truck was coming up on the right side. No clicking sound was heard trying to restart the car.
