This happened to my wife's sail (1.6) too. Only in her case the driver stopped teh car and my wife and son took a rickshaw home and called me. I called a mechanic and he noticed that the wire from the alternator to the battery had burnt. On closer inspection we realised that the alternator winding itself had burnt and had the driver and my wife not been vigilant it could have got worse.
Needless to say we changed the wiring and alternator.
