This 1.8L 2ZR-FXE engine from a 2010 Toyota Prius failed catastrophically and locked up. This was likely due to a lack of lubrication to a connecting rod bearing, which caused it to seize. The connecting rod wrapped itself around the crankshaft, causing the engine to lock up. As a result, the MG1 inside the transmission could no longer start the engine, until its hybrid battery was depleted.
Other common issues with the 2ZR-FXE are headgasket failures, EGR valves becoming clogged and oil burning due to low tension oil rings. While Toyota's were once known for their reliability, this particular generation (2010-2015) Prius's were one to avoid.
Here's another 2ZR-FXE engine teardown from a Lexus CT200h that suffered a headgasket issue:
