If the crank shaft breaks you will have catastrophic failure of the engine with major damage. Bascially the engine will self destruct and you will have to install a new short block to repair it.

Will a serpentine belt that breaks and wraps around the crankshaft and breaks the timing belt hurt the motor in a 03 Saturn vue?

I'll try to answer this clearly. First of all if the timing belt breaks it can hurt the engine. A value can be open when it should closed and it can be hit by the piston. The serpentine belt breaking and wrapping around the crank shaft is HIGHLY unlikely to cause the timing belt to break. The crank shaft supplies the pull and push to the timing belt not the cam shaft. You would have to cause the crank to stop immediately to have any chance of it breaking the timing belt. The serpentine belt is not strong enough, even when wedged behind the pulley, to stop the crank that quickly.
