It is entirely possible that the loading of the front suspension while in a turn caused it (the lower control arm) to exceed the design angle of movement causing it it fracture? Otherwise you would have had to impact something with the tire/wheel to create a shearing force (unlikely). Did it fracture right next to the "ball"?
