Jack Doherty, a famous YouTuber and Kick streamer, was involved recently in a controversy after driving and crashing a $200,000 McLaren. Livestreaming the crash on Kick, Doherty lost control of the vehicle after he began reading his phone while driving on a wet highway. The cameraman was seen bleeding and later taken to the hospital. Kick banned Doherty for violating community guidelines.

Doherty was driving the McLaren 570S on a rainy day in Miami. Footage shows Doherty going way too fast for the weather conditions at the time. Before he lost control of the vehicle, Doherty was seen apparently checking viewer comments on his cell phone. Moments later, the car hit the roadside barrier and the entire front half of the car was destroyed.
Doherty and the cameraman can be heard crying for help after the crash took place. Doherty was uninjured. However, the cameraman on the passenger's seat was injured and was later seen with blood dripping down his face and with what seems to be an injured wrist. Despite that, Doherty gave David the camera to continue filming. "Michael, here. Film on that phone too," said Doherty.
The footage then shows the totaled custom-painted McLaren, valued at around $200,000. According to Sportkeeda, around 185,000 people were watching the stream when the crash took place.
