A broken driveshaft can be caused by several thing the spline can be stripped or worn out where shaft goes into transmission. You can break a driveshaft by being overloaded and starting to abruptly. This especially happens in overloaded trucks on a hill the pinion shaft can break through overload or to much torque such as drag racing the welds on ends of shaft can crack.
