Unhappy Help with engine please

I have a 2006 hhr and Ive been having it a little bit more than 3 years. The car started shaking and I was in the freeway moved to the side and it started dripping oil and smoke came out. I turned it on the 2nd time in started shaking smoke came out and it like made a sparkle. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance

You need to have it like towed to a trusted mechanic. It's very likely that the damage is severe. There is probably like no oil left in the engine.

x2 what RJ said - there is nothing anyone here can help you out with other than his advice to get it towed.

Any idea when the oil level was checked last? And when the last oil change was?

Welcome to the site! By your description of smoke and sparks, and oil coming out, sounds like it threw a connecting rod thru the cylinder block!!

Sparkles?? Maybe you just need more pixie dust...or check your oil more frequently.
