Sounds like possibly a bad battery or faulty alternator.

Actually, it almost sounds like a bad transmission selector switch.

i've had the instrumentation, engine, lights and wipers (at night and raining) fail all at once too while i was about to go through an intersection...it happened so fast i didnt realize the intersection had changed to a red light...about had an accident but luckily i avoided it...had it towed to the ford dealer that was 1000 feet away from that intersection and they said it was battery and alternator...got those fixed and no problems since...by the way...is your battery light on while the engine is running?
