Default Aileron Roll

Last night I was 5 or 6 minutes into a flight when my plane when hands off level flying went into a full aileron roll on its own. Clear to the ground. I had at first thought that something mechanical had gone wrong. But after inspection of the wreckage it does not appear to be the case. Both aileron servo trays in the wings were broken loose from impact. But both control rods were still connected on both ends. Could this have been a glich in the transmitter or receiver? Maybe battery problem. Had full charge before flight. Checked with volt meter. Have not checked voltage input after a discharge. Has anyone had anything like this happen before.
