This reminds me of a couple seasons ago, I was driving my car (60 mile commute back then) and when I pulled on the exit ramp I heard a load thump right behind me. This was followed by a few more loud thumps and then nothing. As I made the turn onto the main road, I noticed I had no more power steering so I knew what just happened. All I could think of is what component just died to make the belt snap. Managed to get it home without overheating it and the next day I peered into the service compartment. I had lost the idler pulley and not only did I find all the pieces of the pulley, but the belt was in perfect shape. Not a mark on it. Bought a new pulley and installed the old belt as that was the last drive before winter set in anyway and I was back in business.
