Default randomly turns off on freeway

so I was going down the freeway on my way home when I randomly notice my oil and battery light turn on so I look at the rpm to see if the car is still on and find out the car just randomly turned off so I pull over to the side of the freeway and try to start my car again but it only cranks and won't turn on does anyone have any clue as of what could have happened I have a 2005 mustang v6.

When my alternator took a crap on my 2006 4.0 that is exactly what happened. Replaced the alternator, charged the battery, and the car was fine

we put charge in the battery and tried to turn it on and the car just cranks but doesn't turn on not even for a bit the fuel doesn't ignite
