Just heard a loud bang while driving and ended up with this picture. Was it a stress fracture?

It’s crazy because we were on a paved country road nobody else around and then heard this loud BOOM! It must be an impact of some sort based in what everyone is saying but man, I can’t figure out what hit us!

Ouch, check the local t.f.o.a. reports 😉.

Could also be birds dropping stuff, trees falling or your tire launched a rock into the travel path.

Long time ago, something similar happened to my explorer 2 door. All I saw was a black blur and smash, a big star appeared on the windscreen. Thought it was a bird but couldn't confirm as there was no residue.

Clase enough. They both work in the same “neighborhood.“

That is from an impact, where were you driving? Was there a golf course or shooting range nearby or were you going under a bridge?

It's a stress fracture for sure. Caused by the stress of something with a lot of force and/or speed smacking the hell out of your truck.
