YouTuber Jack Doherty Crashes McLaren While Streaming

YouTube personality and Kick streamer Jack Doherty crashed his 2024 McLaren Saturday morning while distracted on his phone during a rain storm, and he kept the cameras rolling. Doherty lost control of his vehicle during his Kick live stream and hydroplaned across the right traffic lane into a nearby security barrier.

His Kick account was taken down after the incident. Driving distracted goes against their 13th guideline covering 'Lawfulness,' which tells steamers to follow local laws, be mindful of safety, and practice safety first in all cases. According to Sportskeeda, Doherty had an audience of 185,000 when the crash occurred.

Road & Track reached out to Kick about the apparent ban but has not heard back at this time.

Doherty purchased the McLaren at the end of last year for $202,850.10, according to his Youtube channel; since then, he's wrapped the car in a dayglo paintball gun splatter scheme and added a custom exhaust system. The McLaren is totaled.

Once out of the vehicle, Doherty films his cameraman, referred to as Michael by the streamer, dazed and bleeding from his right temple; Doherty asks if his friend and cameraman is Okay. Later, both would end up in the hospital to be checked up, with Michael receiving stitches.
