    Ok i was driving to work this morning all of a sudden i seem to lose power and heard some wierd buzzing sound of some sort i dunno.. Then turning into work my car completely shuts down.. Had to get it pushed out of the way..

    So I tried starting it and i dont even here or feel it crank.. Some long pitch sound when i turn it..

    Is it my alternator or starter or something else? Battery still works but cannot crank..

    Could that cause it to not even crank? I'll go check it on my break later.

    Sound like your car needs to be towed. Sound like a bad starter but that does not explain why the cur shut off.
