Limp mode /car shutdown ABS/ESP

Hi all, I'm stuck along high 13 in Delaware several miles from home in PA. Heavy rain on the road for a while then all a sudden ABS,ESP,cruise control failure. Put the car In park and couldn't shift back out. Restarted the car and went into limp mode and drove a bit. The tacho and Speedo were cutting in and out. Shutdown and would not restart. Dash comes on but doesn't try to start and no glow plug attempted. 05 320 CDI. Anyone have some basics I can try? I got a hotel room until tomorrow. There's no places open around here to look at the issues. My mechanic seemed to think it was a speed sensor.

Sorry about your circumstances...Seems your ride is in "limp" mode.....especially with rising water. Check the passenger floorboard...pls be safe! GL
