blown hose...

So i was driving home yesterday, and my temp gauge peaked. Pulled into a parking lot, got the hood up and there was coolant EVERYWHERE. I tracked it down to a cracked coupler between hoses under the airbox. Anyone else had this? Is it a sign of something?

its in the shop now, so i'll post an update if there was any big damage :(

I had it happen to me, but mine was a slow leak. Replace all four hoses and the plastic coupler. Get a flat band hose plier, or you will never get the hoses off/ on at the firewall on the heater bibs.
