Yes, but it did not break at the master link. The broken link was missing the pin, and the plates appeared to be squeezed together but as the chain was immediately run over it's hard to say if this was the state of the chain immediately after the accident.
The chain also showed significant scraping on the side and several stiff links (zero indication of stiff links prior to the break) but once again, this might have been due to it being run over.
Also it was a relatively new chain (replaced last year, not too many road miles on it)
