I really need some help with a chunk of code for a simple car game I'm making. I'm quite new to coding so this might be really easy for people more advanced. Whenever you hit something in the game a crash() function is called, this causes it to run the crash loop, then freeze for no apparent reason (this is the problem). Please help me with this, I've tried separating things out to find the cause, trying different values and variables and a ton of other things but to no success.t. PS: I'm using Python 3.6 and Pygame 1.9.
Problematic loop:
def crash():
if invincibility==False:
gameExit=True
blitBackground()
text(2,'You crashed!',88,blk,dW/2,dH/6) #(2 means the text coords will start in the middle and not top left)
text(2,('Your total score is '+str(score)+'! '),49,blk,dW/2,dH/3)
text(2,'You crashed!',90,whte,dW/2,dH/6) #(coords, txt, font, colour, x coords, y coords)
text(2,('Your total score is '+str(score)+'! '),50,whte,dW/2,dH/3)
ad=1 #loop variable
buttonW=250 #button Width
buttonH=125 #button height
bX=dW/2 #button position on x axis
#dH and dW is just displayHeight and display Width
bY=dH-dH/3 #button position on y axis
a=1 #variable that shows if you're hovering over button 1 (main menu button)
b=1 #variable that shows if you're hovering over button 2 (keep playing)
while ad<2: #loop
mousePos=pygame.mouse.get_pos()
mClick=pygame.mouse.get_pressed()
if mousePos[0]>bX-buttonW/2+buttonW/2 and mousePos[0]<bX-buttonW/2+buttonW/2+buttonW and mousePos[1]>dH/2+buttonH/1.75 and mousePos[1]<dH/2+buttonH/1.75+buttonH: #basically asks if mouse is hovering over button 1
a=2
gameDisplay.blit(buttonImgHighlighted,(bX-buttonW/1.5,dH/2))
text(2,'Main menu',40,whte,bX-buttonW/2+buttonW/2,dH/2+buttonH/1.75)
text(2,'Main menu',38,blk,bX-buttonW/2+buttonW/2,dH/2+buttonH/1.75)

if a==1:

if b==1:
text(2,'Keep playing',40,blk,bX-buttonW/2+buttonW-buttonW/2,dH-dH/4+buttonH/1.75)
pygame.display.update()

Whole code: (so you can run it yourself and troubleshoot it easier)
