Car trouble...need suggestions

All,
I was driving down the highway, and all the warning lights flash on(abs/Triangle caution/battery/brake/ESP) all at once, go off after a minute, and then comes back on and stays on. Turn signals don't make any noise, and the AC turned itself to OFF. I was in the middle of nowhere so I kept driving to where I can safely stop and after a few more minutes the car will not boost into the orange part of the guage, and then the guages start flickering, and the car stalled right after that. I can jump it, but the car will stall due to lack of battery power pretty quickly so it looks like the alternator is not charging. Is this indicative of the ABS sensor failure or something different. I don't recall reading that your battery would drain when this happened/alternator not work. Anybody have any thoughts on these symptoms. The car is an 02 9-5 linear 5spd.
Thanks in advance for any help.
