Default engie trouble 2003 lx zm 1.6 dohc

guys.....
i was doing about 120kmh on an open highway, when suddenly the vehicle started losing power and a decrease in momentum. i looked at the gauges and all of the needles were fall ing back to zero (temp.,fuel,tach and speedo.), followed by a total shut down a few seconds later-i was already pulling towards the shoulder.there was smoke and steam under the hood,there engine was scorching hot.
after six hours i returned to the car to discover a busted tube in the radiator. the car was towed on a flatbed and the radiator repaired.
now the car does not start.....when the ignition is turned ,a whirring sound-similar to a motor spinning without load-comes from the engine.

can anyone help me to understand whats happening and/or how i can correct this problem?
