Internet Star Crashes Luxury Car While Streaming Live

Internet personality Jack Doherty, known for controversial pranks and flaunting wealth, crashed his $200,000 McLaren while livestreaming. The 20-year-old YouTuber, with nearly 15 million subscribers, appeared to be distracted by his phone during wet conditions. The incident, shared on Kick, swiftly led to his channel's ban from the platform. A clip spread online showing Doherty seemingly speeding and glancing at his phone before losing control and hitting a guardrail. Despite the crash, he asked his cameraman, who was injured, to hold the camera from the car window. Viewers criticized Doherty for prioritizing his car over his passenger's safety.

In the aftermath, Doherty shared videos of himself in the wrecked car and later in a hospital room with his cameraman getting stitches. Some viewers noted that Doherty didn't re-upload the full footage leading to the crash. This isn't his first vehicle mishap; he's previously crashed a Can-Am off-road vehicle and a golf cart on camera. The content of the stream violated Kick’s community guidelines, which emphasize safety and avoiding dangerous behavior. Doherty's account was swiftly removed from the platform. This incident highlights the consequences of reckless driving, especially when live-streaming.
