Default Car died mid drive

I was driving on the highway and the car made a clunk and lost power, accessories were still on.
trying to start the car the starter spun freely and all belts went as well

all gears are able to be shifted into and clutch feels fine, after towing and further diagnosis it is throwing a camshaft position sensor code, and looking through the oil fill hole the rocker arms remained still when attempting to start, I believe I broke my timing chain any other thoughts?
