readOGR is a function in the rgdal package. This is a specialised question better asked on R-sig-geo. In addition, you have not provided the output of sessionInfo() so that we know your platform and package versions, nor the messages shown on the console when rgdal is loaded (versions of the external libraries being interfaced. The sp classes into which you are reading data can only hold points or lines or polygons separately. I have revised ogrInfo so that instead of 6:7 it will in the future show: MultiPolygon:GeometryCollection. A geometry collection is a catch-all that your data source (the provider of the KML file) hasn't managed to define in a simple way, and this is where you need to go to resolve the problem.
