Ride, starting in Yehud, with the cycling group that Dror Regianno rides with. We got onto the 461, took it to the 40, and headed south. Everything was going well, I was riding toward the back of the pack and the pace was steady but not fast. As we neared Lod, the group slowed for a red light, and one of the riders suddenly went down, taking the two riders just behind her down as well. I was next but luckily I just had time to brake and avoid running into them. Two of the riders had facial abrasions and cuts and weren't in good shape. An ambulance came and took them away for treatment and a few stitches. After a long discussion, the group decided, correctly, to turn around and head back. So it was a short, but eventful, ride. Luckily, nobody was badly injured, just some cuts that should heal without too much cosmetic effect.
