Robert Brown|YouTuber Jack Doherty Crashes $200,000 Sports Car While Livestreaming

YouTuber Jack Doherty is Robert Browngoing viral for all the wrong reasons.

The 20-year-old social media star crashed his $200,000 car while livestreaming on the platform Kick Oct 5., documenting the scary moment for people who were watching his stream at the time, per NBC News.

In the clip, which was removed from Kick but quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), Jack's cameraman Michael filmed Jack driving down a Miami highway from the passenger seat as it rained.

Jack, who was periodically looking down at his phone, started screaming, "No, no, no!" as he grasped at the steering wheel of his custom McLaren 570S before the livestream went momentarily went blank.

He could then be heard telling his cameraman to open his door before the footage cut to Michael with blood streaming down his face as the duo surveyed the damage. The entire front of the sportscar appeared to be destroyed after crashing into a metal highway barrier.

In the footage, Jack was heard asking his pal if he was okay before instructing him to continue filming the aftermath of the incident.

"Oh my god, bro!" Jack repeatedly said in the livestream. "My whole f--king car, bro!"

In a video he posted to X following the crash—which he captioned, "Crashed my McLaren… glad we’re both ok"—Jack could be seen kicking in the window of his car as he screamed to passerby for help. As they pulled Jack out through the driver's side window, he asked one of the bystanders to hold his camera for him.

He shared another clip hours after the wreck from a hospital room, in which Michael received stitches for his injuries.

E! News has reached out to Jack’s reps for comment and has not yet heard back.

Social media users were quick to criticize Jack for how he handled the dangerous incident, saying that he seemed more preoccupied with filming the moment than taking care of his bleeding friend.

Kick, where he was livestreaming at the time of the crash, has since removed both the footage and Jack's entire profile from its platform.

"[Kick] does not condone illegal activity," the company said in a statement to People, "which is why we swiftly took action and moved to ban this creator from the platform."

Indeed, the site's community guidelines state that users should "prioritize your safety and the safety of those around you by avoiding dangerous behaviour."

Jack, who has nearly 15 million YouTube subscribers, purchased the McLaren for over $200,000 in June 2023, which he documented in a video for his channel.

And this wasn't the first time that the social media creator has caused controversy after uploading footage of himself crashing a vehicle. 

Last November, he uploaded a video of himself flipping a golf cart while driving with his girlfriend, and in March, he flipped an off-roading vehicle, which resulted in him injuring his arm.
