I really haven’t seen an accurate account of why the guy stopped, leading to him getting pulled out and pummeled...
But regardless whether or not he made the right call to do what he did at first, he made a truly boneheaded move of stopping and not continuing to flee until he got his family to safety.

Look at the video and you will see why he stopped. He was boxed in by other cars. There was nowhere to go. He was probably hoping that traffic would start moving before the bikers got to him. It had already happened before.
Whether the the cars ahead of him were stopped by normal traffic, or because outlaw motorcycle riders had got ahead and blocked traffic to create the jam in order to box him in, I do not know.
