So I was recently driving back home from grocery shopping when I heard a loud pop( initially I though it was my tire) followed by smoke that was coming from the engine which only lasted a few seconds. Then I noticed my engine lost all power and stopped completely followed by all the dashboard lights turning on at once. There was also some oil on the ground and car would not turn on when I tried starting it up. Anyone have any idea what could have happened? It’s currently and an Indy shop but I’m gonna have wait until they get to do an inspection on it

I hate to say this, but it sounds like your engine is toast. A loud pop followed by oil on the ground often means a rod failed and perforated your case.

That’s unfortunate, hopefully not Something I failed to mention is that the smoke white in color and I wasn’t sure exactly sure if it was oil or coolant

I'll concur, appears to be a friend motor. Have you checked to see if your coolant hoses or tank let go first?
