'05 330cic: squealing noise, suddenly lost power steering, battery lights, red engine

What a night. I've been ignoring this high pitch, squealing noise on cold starts for a month; I hear it from the front of the car, driver side. It comes on when I accelerate but goes away after a min of driving.



Just now, I heard what sounded like I ran over some rocks coming from the front driver side of the car (and the squealing stopped). Then the steering became very tight, power steering gone. The red battery light sensor came on. Then the car's thermometer / engine temp began climbing to the red zone (no smoke). I pulled off to the side, parked, and will get it towed to the mechanic tomorrow.



Anyone else has this experience: cause, damages, and... cost of repair.



With heavy heart... I know this will be expensive.
