He is probably on to something with the side impact. This is exactly why pre purchase inspections are so important.

Maybe whoever worked on it didn’t put all the studs back in so it was relying on only the outside one and snapped.

Hopefully there aren’t other drivetrain issues. I can’t imagine how much the drive train was flexing with a mount like that.

Edit: I see now that they were sheared off. Fingers crossed for you!
