2001 explorer sport trac. Oil pressure dropped and then car died out

I recently bought a 2001 ford explorer sport trac ( 4.0 liter v6. Also has an overhead cam shaft). It turned over and ran when I bought it but barely. The guy said it needed a new belt and o2 sensor. Gave the guy money and he drove off and then went to start it and "click" the starter went out. Replaced the starter and got it started. Half way home the oil pressure dropped and the car died out. I was in the truck behind it because my dad had to bring tools and such. He was driving it when it went out and I was behind him. He had me get in and he rammed me home. When I got in I noticed some white smoke coming out of the passenger side of the hood. The car was off but he still pushed it home while I steered. When we finally got it home we took a closer look. The car of course wouldn t start up. His exact text when he looked at it was "I m home. Oil is full. Starter is hooked up. Engine is locked up." I have no idea what is wrong with it and would like some help figuring it out. It's been a rough couple of weeks with this thing and I'm hoping there's some hope for it. Thank you!
