Default car died suddenly, dash flicker

hey, I need some help. I put my is350 into reverse and the car died... steering locked engine shut off. now it wont start. when I try the dash flickers ( instrument panel and radio/clock) and it doesn't turn over, just clicks but I have full aux power ( radio works, int. lights work, etc.) . after it makes odd sounds. now earlier today it gave me the low key battery warning, but this is not what happened the last time my key died. thanks.

have you tried to jump it? Might be a dead battery, need to have it load tested at autozone.

I'm no mechanic, but my instinct would be the alternator.
