That light i think comes on when its seriously overheating. My old 1.6 focus suddenly lost all its coolant, there is a plastic hose connector on the front of the block that split, luckily I saw the guage drifting up and shut it off before any damage was done. Looks like it was too late for your sister though

thermostat housing at the front of the engine usually cracks. water pumps are also quite common. car should shut itself down before it gets to far though.
