YouTuber Jack Doherty crashed his $200,000 McLaren sports car during a livestream this weekend after seemingly looking at his phone while driving in the rain. Mr Doherty, 20, who has nearly 15 million subscribers, is known for his controversial prank videos and displays of wealth. He was streaming the incident on Kick, where his channel was later banned following the crash.
A clip circulating online appeared to show Mr Doherty speeding on a wet highway while glancing at his phone before shouting, “No, no, no!” as he lost control of the car and crashed into a guardrail.
Mr Doherty also shared videos of the aftermath, including one of him calling for help from inside the vehicle. In the clip, he asked a bystander to hold the camera as others pulled him out of the window.
