That seems likely. I was once almost hit by a shoe in similar circumstances. I was walking on a city street at night, there was a squeal of brakes and a thud - I didn't see the accident because there was a shrubbery between me and the road, but several seconds later a shoe fell from the sky and just missed my head.
