i had a problem may be similar to that, the problem turn out to be that i had a loose ground connection at the battery, i had 2 thick wires and a skinny wire between them, so the skinny wire was not as thight as the other 2 fat ones. and with the vibration from the vehicle it used to separate for a split second causing my engine to shut off.(that wire was the only path that my engine had for its ground) but after the vehicle stoped moving it would just start again like nothing ever happened.and yes the oil and engine light would come on too.

check your ground conections.if you were making a turn then you may want to look at another reason for that for ex, broken/corroded gas tank bafles. when the bafles go and you make a turn the gasoline would be sent to the side of the gas tank away from the fuel pump causing your vehicle to shut off until the gas returns to the center of the tank .it happens.
