Default something wrong or fluke?

Hey everyone. Driving in slow traffic this weekend my 97 1.8T did something that scared me.

For 1 second or less the check engine light came on and the car lost all power. 1 second.

Rest of the day, car ran fine. The car has been well serviced and I have no idea what happened. Should I worry? Any ideas what the hell that was?
