Over the past few days my car has shut off in the middle of the road multiple times. My dashboard lights and radio have stopped working as well. I need advice on what this could be and if I should worry about it.

Yes, the car should not stall, this can be a bad battery or the IPDM can be going out, we will need more information to help you. Let's run the codes to see if any are stored.
