I stopped behind the driver, turned on my hazard lights and jumped out to help her push the car out of the intersection and more into the parking lot entrance.

Too bad real bumpers are a thing of the past. Back when I had a Ford Fairmont, it was pretty common for nobody to ever get out of the car in that situation; just pull up behind a car with the four-ways on, wait for the wave-up from the driver indicating they're ready, and push them to a safe spot. Then you get out and offer them a ride to the auto parts store for a carb rebuild kit (most likely culprit since based on your description it apparently died when she tried to accelerate through the intersection) and have them back on the road faster than the tow truck would have gotten there.
