Now would be an ideal time to find out what happened. Stopping suddenly without warning would make me think a main bearing seized. I think one rod would give a few knocks before coming unglued.

So long as the main bearing didn't actually spin in the block, you may get another crank and bearing set. But learn how to check the clearances. And as hotrod already stated, clean everything. Passages and all.
