Jack Doherty, ladies and gentlemen. The YouTube wild child somehow managed to do the one thing every influencer hopes they never do—crash a brand new McLaren. And how did it happen? Oh, nothing major. He was just livestreaming while driving like he’s in a GTA game, eyes more glued to the screen than the road. Smooth move, Jack.

The crash itself went down while he was busy on his phone during the livestream, with his cameraman chilling beside him in the passenger seat, like nothing crazy was about to happen. But—spoiler alert—crazy did happen. A McLaren meets disaster, and the internet can’t get enough. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt in the crash, though the cameraman caught a little blood on his face. Just a flesh wound, folks.

Now, here’s the kicker: right after the accident, Jack’s Kick account (the livestreaming platform) hit him with the ban hammer. Like, buddy, you just trashed a $200k+ luxury car AND lost your streaming privileges in one swoop. Not the kind of two-for-one deal anyone wants.
In the video, you can see Jack doing what he does best—messing around on his phone while driving, minutes before the crash. It’s a whole don’t-do-this-at-home-kids moment. Honestly, a near-death experience didn’t seem to shake him much, but hey, that’s influencer life for you.
