Chalk it up to shit just happening. It could have been one of a million things. Possibly a frozen bearing locking the front wheel at the most inoportune time? A stuck brake that just happened to grab at the right time? A tiny bit of gravel at the exact spot where your tire would start to slide. A rat in the road that picked the tire up and threw it to the side.
