Diesels are NOT my thing but I can tell ya the same thing happened on an old VW Rabbit 4 cylinder 4 cycle diesel engine I had (run away) and the reason was the rings/cylinders were badly worn allowing crankcase oil to get sucked up past the rings into the combustion chamber so she was runnin away on its own engine oil and she smokedddddd big time (burnin oil) n ran fast as a rabbit till I got her shut down. On the old 6 71 2 cycle Detroit 2 cycle diesel engines they had an emergency shut off which was a big flapper in the intale to choke off all air in case of run away.
