Bad oil pressure sending unit, bad oil pump, dent in the oil pan restricting oil to the pickup tube, extremely low oil level. Any one of those will cause the light to come on. Look into, ASAP.

one other thing not mentioned here is if the wire has pulled out of the sensor and is hanging behind the motor it may be touching metal grounding it out when he breaks but i would check out what 94eg8 said if it is still conected
