Best I can surmise,is that the impact simply displaced the diffuser rearward,with the sound of the collision shared by the cacophony of shearing rivets, and the 833-times more dense than air water pushing/pulling against the concealed forward vertical face of the valance ( Cd 1.11 ).
She's been on the truck since 2004 and has never been a problem.And the damage looks like something I can resolve with my tree stump, rawhide mallet,and some tinner-man's pliers.
You know you're an EcoModder when that's how you say "I struck something underwater"

I understand the diffuser was the lowest part of the car, since nothing else got hit?
