Most folks don't really understand what they are being told by the gauges. The engine is in a no air flow place and the cooling system is quite complex. Once the pump stopped pumping, it wasn't long before something bad happened. He could have just been trying to get it off the highway to a safe place and once he shut it down, that was all she wrote.

A sad ending for sure.
