An encounter with a group of males on all-terrain vehicles turned into a nightmare last evening for a motorist in Kensington.
The driver, 29, a Philadelphia man, wound up in critical condition at Temple University Hospital after being run over repeatedly by some of the vehicles, which were ridden by eight to 10 males, according to police.
About 7:30 last night, the driver found his way blocked by the riders on the 400 block of East Ontario, near the McKinley Recreation Center, and an argument ensued, according to police.
The riders threw objects at car and pursued as it tried to get away, but after only a block or two, the car crashed into several parked vehicles in the 3400 block of Hurley Street, police said.
When the driver got out, he was knocked down and run over at least several times by the vehicles, police said.
Investigators are trying to determine the identities of the attackers.
