Default Road Hazard = Engine Vibration?

So I was driving through the less than perfect Orlando roads this evening and all of a suddent the truck in front of me slams on his brakes, then I slam on mine... and find out why he slammed on his. A nice construction crew left a 3 inch cutout in the road. I slowed down fast enough to not hurt the suspension but as soon as I stopped at a light the engine was shaking like it was about to stall. This continued the whole time I was at the light then after another half mile of driving the car was fine. Could the bump have caused the fuel pump to pick up some air bubbles from the sloshing around? Has this ever happened to anyone else?
