I was just surprised how loose the wheel was after losing the stud .... wouldn't have thought that the other lug nuts would have loosened that much in that short period of time ... not more than 200 km.

Probably a combination of the broken stud and bolts backing off somewhat after being initially installed. We would need an automotive CSI investigation to determine the exact reason. Bottom line is that at least your wheel didn't fall off while commuting and nobody got hurt.
