Chevrolet Silverado Steering Problem

While driving the lights shut off then the steering wheel locked up and the engine shut off now it won't start what does this mean?

"Doesn't start" can mean a hundred different things, like "I'm in pain". Given the multiple symptoms it suggests the serpentine belt broke. Has anyone actually looked at it? The steering will not lock up. If it did you'd be reading about a lot of crashes. You will lose power steering which just means you have to use both hands to steer.
