Default Highway downshift

2012 Screw eco 69000 miles, I was doing 80 on the turnpike when out of nowhere my truck downshifted into 1st. Tires locked up and I could of swore the motor was going to blow. Does anyone have any ideas what would cause this?

It locked up for about 20-30 ft, then my rpm tach pinned and I just rode it off to the shoulder. I'm just thankful it was early Sunday morning, not during rush hour on a Friday lol
