Snapped aux belt?

I suspect the same, a snapped belt. Also check the crank pulley for side play, as well as the other pulleys. The crank pulley tends to have rubber filling, between the inner and outer solid metal sections, as the pulley acts as vibration damper. When this pulley delaminates, the belt can be damaged too. Aged of the belt is another factor.
