I was driving on the freeway when the vehicle's hybrid battery continued to drop below a quarter of the meter. The vehicle's HUD started flashing red and the vehicle shut off. I had to pull over and wait for approximately 30 minutes before starting the vehicle back up and continuing home. The dealership stated it was a Hybrid battery issue, still under warranty, and is replacing the hybrid battery.
