I'm having the same problem, just unplug the wire from the ignition switch to the starter, and with another piece of wire with a connector jump start the van using the alternator +, after putting the key in the start position, of course. That should get your friend to a safe place where the problem can be fixed. This should give you an idea what to look for:

Good luck.
