I'd certainly urge you to stop and find the trouble before driving the car again. The only time I ever lost oil pressure (in Newhaven, on the way to the ferry for a quickly-aborted holiday - and the only time my car came home on a trailer) a subsequent strip-down found a flake of ancient red hermetite lodged in the oilway. It was blocking the oil pressure gauge take-off in fact, but might easily have migrated to a point where consequences could have been more severe.
With the engine in situ you should be able to check for water in the sump (just crack the drain plug open, water will sink to the lowest point) and may be able to check the PRV / oil pump (with sump off) - depending on your car and your agility. From there it would be engine out I think.
