The fact that it did it so late in the print makes me wonder if the wires or filament got snagged for a brief moment.

And the holes on the top of the print is just not enough infill, and also because the print shifted so it lost its infill spacing.
Lastly, the tippy-top of the print that looks all smooshed and uneven is from insufficient cooling, try printing a cylinder next to the print to give the plastic some time to cool down.

Thanks.
