as i do not know what it is , you could let it cool down and drive till the needle gets to just before the red and stop leave rad cap off , and top it up with water if you got and , but your water pump could be turned bye the cam belt , so if it is get it towed in as if the water pump gets worsted through the engine running there is every possibility of it seizing up and snapping the cam belt and that will dost you a lot more than a tow truck

...ever heard the term " cracked cylinder head ".
that repair shop will see you coming.

...add water and go.

If you're sure that the pump is gone,it's not even advisable to
start the engine,much less,drive it.
GET IT TOWED !!!
