Citroen Relay 2.2 2003 (53) - Running rough, knock and white smoke #Archived Message

Van came in running rough and had a knock and white smoke. The noise from the engine seemed to ease when depressing the clutch. I removed the sump to look at bottom end and found the crankshaft broken across journal no: 4. Cant believe it was still running !!! Has anyone seen this before ? My concern is why did it happen ? Is there a residual fault I'm missing ? The easiest way to deal with it would be to replace the crank but I am worried that if I do that could it happen again ?
