My guess... since this just happened to me, and I was able to diagnose the problem with the help of the LBS:

Your chain wasnt installed properly, and the special link's pin came out a teensy bit. The pin caught on the derailieur pulled it forward, snapped the hangar, got thrown into the spokes... etc.

I'd bet a dollar its the pin on the chain. Check the chain... and if it hasnt been touched since you bought the bike, it could be your LBS's fault...
