The truck was, er, truckin' right along when the extended frame cracked, losing the axles and allowing the driveshaft to drop free. The shaft isn't held in by much, only splines and the universal joints. Remove a joint, the shaft will drop free.
That said, what would cause the frame to crack like that? It appears that the frame was damaged in the past and welded back together, which is illegal.
That driver wins a trophy for most creative crash of the month!
