That mangled connecting rod tells me that the big end of the rod lost its Babbit and seized up on the crankshaft. The weight of the vehicle and inertia did the rest. I've seen insert bearings wear loose and overlap, and wedge the rod tight against the crank, but in this case, it's likely that the Babbit lining came unglued from the rod, wadded up, and wedged itself. Just a guess, but I've been building engines for a little over 65 years.
