coolant leak?

i was driving my jk around midnight on saturday and my thermostat suddenly shot to the highest temp and my thermostat light came up on the dash. i pulled over and shut the ignition off to cool the engine down, turned it back on about 10 minutes later, and the temp shot right back up. i left it where it was parked for the night and towed it back to my house in the morning, but when i was pulling out i saw the huge puddle of fluid underneath, and a trail of it leading from the road. is it most likely a rotted hose, or a leak from the radiator? i’m planning of flushing the radiator later but i wanted a separate opinion.
