Escaping a/c refrigerant (Freon) appears as smoke - something within the system has ruptured allowing the refrigerant to escape.. *Hands-on* inspection / evaluation will be required to determine exact failure.
Since the a/c compressor has it’s own ‘independent’ drive belt - there is a ‘possibility’ the a/c compressor itself has locked and the belt has been ejected - however that should have produced a burning smell - which was not mentioned in your question. In any event *hands-on* evaluations will be required - by qualified personnel. Good luck!
