There was a 6 bike pileup near Quebec city earlier this month, one dead, others injured. I as recall, the lead bike almost stopped on the highway in traffic and the others piled into one and other.... wasn't pretty

Not saying this happened in either cas but bike riders are the worst about down shifting hard and not flashing their brake light. This is one reason I don't do group rides. I was behind a "mature" guy on a nice Duce HD driving my work van yesterday in light but stop and go traffic. The guy almost never hit his brakes to warn he was slowing.
