Bad serpentine belt

Have had my 9-5 for 3K miles. Driving the other day, car was 2hrs warm with around-town driving. Came to stop. Put in reverse. Heard 'whap!whap!whap!whap!. thought I backed over a tree branch. Put in gear and the noise continued. Stopped the car to inspect. Nothing. Popped the hood, and heard the noise under the engine cover. No signs of oil, steam, smoke, or loose metal. Promptly shut down and called Saab road side service. Turns out it was a bad serpentine belt. Grateful for not being on the Merrit Pkwy doing what Saabs do best. No other damage done.
Anyone hear of this problem before?
Dealer took care of it promptly. Their contracted towing service was a little slow off of the mark. Approx. an 1hr to come less than 5 miles. NOT STELLAR PERFORMANCE if you ask me.
