Not a totally random place to crack, its at the end of the tube near the top of the fork. that part of the frame takes a lot of force - think why are tubes butted so that the ends are thicker and stronger than the middle?
I've never seen a frame snap in the middle of the tube. That would be random!
If you have still got it Argos Cycles do tube replacements and will make the paint look good as new after!
