I had a 1991 Buick Regal that did the same thing. The control chip
(computer) was overheating and when it became too hot, the car
would just stop.
More than likely the alternator went. Once an alternator dies,
the car has to run off the battery to power everything in the cab,
as well as the spark plugs and other things for the engine
compartment. When the battery gets too low to run the engine any
more, obviously the engine would stop running, however the battery
isn't completely dead, so it might still power the lights, radio,
windows, etc.the topstall or no start problems for buick fuel pump
fails when hot next the electronic spark conrpl module bad circuit
fails when hot then may restart when cooled off next cam or
cranshaft position sensor failure these parts had very high failure
rate that buick replaced them out of warantee for some time. also
fuel pump wiring in fuel tank have a electrical connector problem
that causes power connector to melt

Why do running lights and taillights remain on when headlights are turned off on 93 Buick Lesabre?
I had this problem with my 1994 Buick LeSabre and it no longer
happened when I installed a new battery. It's been at least 6
months now with no recurrence of the problem.
Before the new battery, I noticed that if I waited about 5
minutes after turning off the car, I could get the lights to turn
off. Seemed like something had to cool down.

If you were charged criminally it will always remain on
