Could be that both taillights / brake lights were out. Seems super unlikely, but I have seen someone driving on the highway with both taillights burnt out, headlights on.

Probably hard to realize they're out until someone lets you know / pulls you over.

Hum, I never considered this option, though a bug in the CAN bus is more likely than brake lights being out. Some Renault cars were notorious for this, but in this instance I believe it was a Volkswagen Touran.
