WHITEMARSH, PA — A large group of off-road vehicles swarmed down Ridge Pike over the weekend, illegally driving in the road and sometimes riding against traffic.

The large packs of riders are a common sight in parts of Philadelphia, especially in the summertime. But their latest ride on Sunday evening, July 28, took them down Ridge all the way through Springfield, Whitemarsh, Plymouth, and into Norristown.

According to 6ABC, there were between 100 and 200 riders.
