my 87 sedan I sold, threw a belt

OK, I just got off the phone with the new owner... he says the car has a problem, he was driving, and all the dash lights came on, so he CONTINUED DRIVING TO THE NEXT EXIT AND ON TO HIS COUSIN'S HOUSE...

he says it was less than a mile, and the motor temp did not climb above 120.
I told him to open the hood and see if the belt was thrown, or broken.
it was not on the car, and he says the a/c compressor pulley is slanted, so it must have failed.
anyway, I told hit he should have shut off the car, and called from the highway for me or a towtruck, and he said his phone was dead, so he drove to his cousin's house less than a mile down the road.
as much as we struggled with the temp gauge on this motor, and how drastically important the temp is on the motor, I just cannot imagine him driving with dash lights on...
our schedules don't jibe until saturday, so I'll look it over then. I'm REALLY hoping nothing got damaged, but I don't have any warm cuddly feelings...
