A few dash lights, no power steering

Is this the sign of a bad alternator? I have the battery light, abs, stop lamp, brake, and now the power steering doesn't work.
It was too dark to tell if a belt slipped on my way to work, but I'm wondering if I can still make it home or if I should get it towed.

Sounds like you lost your acc. belt.....or your crank pulley is separated, or separating

Re: A few dash lights, no power steering

Found out what happened now that it's light outside.
Alternator/PS belt, shredded. I might as well replace the crank/ac belt too because it looks brittle and cracked too.
