Default Missing bolt

While under the car yesterday I noticed a bolt missing from a support (?) located between the gas tank and the body forward. I have no idea how long it's gone missing.

The bolt head is pretty large - 21mm? - and is located on the driver side of the car. In the picture, the gas tank is at the bottom and the top is towards the front. Both bolts on the passenger side are in place and tight.

I need to determine the bolt size and get a replacement for sure, but does anyone think this is an immediate danger? I'm guessing not, but as I don't know the bolts purpose I can't say...

Thats just a brace. No immediate danger, its not weight bearing.

Those bolts are M10 x 95 x 1.5 thead pitch.
