Question Loud Chunk Noise from Rear

I was driving about 38-40mph when I had to slam on the brakes because of a driver who failed to yield to me when he was turning left. It was enough to make all 4 tires squeal and most likely engage ABS. After almost getting into an accident I drove off and as soon as I drove off. I heard a loud clunk from the rear. What could that be? Should I be worried? 15' IS250. It seem to drive just fine after the loud clunk

Could be possible it was just the brakes releasing from the emergency stop that just occurred.
If you haven't heard the noise again and the vehicle is driving fine then I wouldn't worry honestly.
