Checked whether it is the gearbox or possibly a driveshaft or wheel bearing collapsed / seized up ?

Hi, yes the gearbox or differential. The car does not move even in neutral even with the clutch in.Checked whether it is the gearbox or possibly a driveshaft or wheel bearing collapsed / seized up ?
The RAC had to drag it onto a towing dolly.
The car has only done 100k, it was quite dangerous having such a seizure at speed.

Very dangerous for that too happen as you say but need to get it jacked up and confirm exactly what failed and any subsequent damage . Then need to decide next move dependant on findings and estimated costs
