The only way a bad alternator could stop a car on the highway is if it stopped charging the battery and the battery used up all its juice trying to keep the engine running.

When you jumped the car, did you connect the battery cables then let the other vehicle run for a few minutes?
I let the vehicle run for about 15min then tried to start the car. When the vehicle died on the highway, I pulled over to the side and tried restarting and everything turned on like the AC and lights but the engine won't start running. When the vehicle check engine, oil, and battery light went on while on the highway I tried pressing the gas when it was still on but nothing happened. I had more than enough gas so, I don't expect the gas to be the problem.
