Looks like a typical settlement crack. But a wider shot might help as well as some background info on the area.

Although for some reason it doesn't let me view the picture, I came across a new development. I inspected 5 new houses for a builder. In all 5 houses, the garage floors had cracks. Nothing too elaborate, but I didn't feel right about it, so I made note of it and told him. A month later, he had to take all of the houses off the market, and other houses he sold already put in a lawsuit, because the houses were starting to sink. They built the development on what was once a lake and filled in. Not to worry you, but that was my run in. Good luck.
