I was driving and then all of a sudden the car starts beeping saying it was overheating. so we immediately pulled over and when we popped the hood water started spewing out this line behind the engine and coolant started leaking out the bottom.

This sounds like you have a split hose. This happens as they age and crack. Then when they get hot, they just give out.

I attached a couple of the possible hoses that it could be but the only way to truly know is to find it and that means you need to pressurize the system and look for where the coolant is coming out.
