Car Won't Start, Flashing Lights

I drove about 30 minutes with no problems, then stopped for a few and tried to turn my car on and nothing.
Any suggestions would be great, I'd rather not have to tow.
Edit: it was a weak battery that needed replacing.

disconnect battery for 5-10 min and try again.

could be a low battery. Do you have a jump box, or a means of testing?

Miles on car, OEM battery or has it been replaced?

It's most likely a battery issue, quite a bit of us have had this. The battery on this car just dies with no warning.

Got its started off a push, looks like it's may be the starter.
All the windows and lights work so I severely doubt it's the battery.

I once had a battery that tested with a bad cell. It would do everything except start the car. It was an Optima red top in my mustang.

It was the battery, sorry for doubting everyone.
