I have a 05 Nissan Sentra why did it cut off/dashboard light up at a red light?

I was at a red light with my radio blasting.. next thing I know car had jumped, then it cut off but all the lights on the dashboard had lit up. Why did it do this? My car is an old 05 Nissan Sentra

    The engine stalled for reasons we cannot diagnose from your post. Have a mechanic look at it.

    Your car stalled (the engine quit running) and the lights are on because the key is in the ON position and that is normal.  Maybe you run out of gas or the fuel pump quit or any of the important sensors failed or the car overheated.  Get the car towed if it will not start again.

    We cannot tell you why the engine STALLED because there could be many reasons,but when that happens it is normal for all of the warning lights to illuminate. It's no different from when you turn the ignition to 'on' before starting the engine. Some people call them "idiot lights" for good reason.
