If you were low on gas, then it was probably fuel slosh.

it was with a little less then half of a tank.

Tire pressure is good.

It's fuel starvation. When you spin the car that fast, the fuel goes to one side of the tank. If you have less than half a tank, that will most likely be enough that the fuel pickup cannot get anything, thus the car dying from fuel starvation.
