is your alternator belt still there?? could of snapped off and your car could of been running on whatever power what was left in the battery.
now the alternator cant charge the battery due to no belt being there.
check it out, it happened me two weeks ago on my other car, in the pitch dark on really bad bends, had to push the bloody thing for miles!!

Check that the relevant fuses haven't blown is probably the best place to start.

It's not the end of the world, if the relay is the cause a replacement will solve the problem.
