Look to me like a high probability that the seatpost clamp was cranked down too tight. A crash causing excess irregular forces on the seatpost could also be a significant contributor. Being above the min. insertion line, as well. I would also guess that this has been in the process of cracking for a while, it just finally reached a critical level.
