yikes, pics perhaps? dare i ask: brand of bike/fork?

 

was thinking of this type of failure:

This however, was from a well used fork, bontrager though, not crackendale. Maybe the more sudden failures are cleaner.

This fork failed because someone threw a spear into the wheel as it was turning. The broken spokes tell the story.

 

We need to see the other bike's wheels as well as a close-up of that crack, Take a nice photo with a proper macro camera, not a cellphone photo. I don't care how many terrapixels cellphone cameras have, their photos are not good enough for this sort of thing.

Agree. Failure in OP's pic looks similar, but no point in speculating further. Even more pointless to go ape about Cannondale, carbon fibre, QA process, country of manufacture etc.
