did the engine light come on? might be worth flashing any fault codes to see if it is the crank sensor.

see here..

That is very like a crank sensor failure. If it happens again I'd say change the crank sensor.

I had this for a while last year, eventually found to be a loose chip in the keyfob, so the immobilisor was not getting deactivated with the key in the ignition.... but did sometimes as the chip was actualy moving in the key.

Fixed with a dab of superglue once the nice AA man pointed out the problem .. :)
