Strange flash of light seen

This morning on my commute to work, I witnessed an inexplicable occurence. I was making my way around a corner, and all of a sudden there was a giant flash of light, as if a lightning bolt struck the ground ~3 cars in front of me.

The surrounding area lit up accordingly, however there was no logically complimentary sound alongside it. At the same time, there was a low whirring sound, comparable to that of a car accelerating, however there were no aircraft present in the sky, and there was no wreckage or debris that might be found if a car explodes or something like that.

This was a large flash of light, so it couldn't have been a streetlamp going out, it was something large and encompassing.

Shortly after the flash of light, the sky quickly filled with clouds, when before the occurrence, the sky was clear.

The cars in front of me stopped, and a few people got out and looked around to see if this was an ongoing event. I was concerned about the incident, but I didn't want to stick around to see what happened next(if anything did happen next).
