I suspect this happens more often than not when the device is updating the Play Services application in the background then any other time.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Are you saying that you must update the application in the foreground and not leave the play store?? That's interesting.

No I am not saying that. I don't know how you could have come to that conclusion.
Both the Play Store and the Play Services updates automatically in the background. The only control one has is if you want to restrict it to wifi only for the update.
I have seen multiple times where the Play Services crashed and shortly after reporting it, I would see my Antivirus application pop up a notification saying that the Play Services was safe to open. Therefore I believe the Play Services crashed because It in use either by itself or for another application when the phone was also updated the app. To complete the update, the application had to be forcibly stopped which likely in turn caused the crash.

I wasn't really sure what you meant Ann154.
But I see what you mean with the deeper explanation with antivirus and force stopping the application/update. It does make sense and could be a reasonable explanation for the issue. Thanks for your input!
