My theory here is that because the rear tyres were quite a bit shorter than the front tyres the car thought that the rear tyres were spinning faster than what they actually were. This would mean the car would put more torque towards the front than normal which killed the (perhaps weak/faulty) front axle.
However I'd also say that I'd damned well expect the front axles to handle shock loads such as if they spin a little bit and regain grip on a dry road surface, the load there would be much higher than just driving normally with more power being sent to the front.
