Red rotors usually means something locked the caliper up.

#

So as you were driving, the brake pads were engaged on the rotor. Judging by what you said and how they look, the rotor and pads need to be replaced.

#

At the very least, the caliper needs to be inspected to see what caused it to not work properly before it happens again.

A simple pad and rotor change might not do it

#

Its possible the caliper has some problems and needs to be rebuilt or replaced

Ended up getting it towed to a repair shop because i had a free tow on my insurance
