Shocking moment YouTuber Jack Doherty crashes his $300,000 McLaren

YouTuber Jack Doherty crashed his $300,000 McLaren, leaving his friend covered in blood in a horrific incident which has gone viral online.

The 20-year-old was live streaming on Kick and could be seen driving with one hand and glancing down at his phone as he drove at high speed in torrential rain before he lost control of the supercar.

The custom wrapped McLaren 570S skidded across the wet highway in Miami before careering into the metal roadside barrier, ripping off the bonnet and destroying the entire front half of the car.

Jack managed to escape unscathed but his friend Michael David, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could be seen with blood streaming down his face and had to be taken to hospital.

But not before Jack handed him the camera and said: 'Michael, here. Film on that phone too.'

Jack has since been banned from streaming platform Kick for violating safety guidelines, which some believe relates to him being seen reading the live chat section of his stream whilst driving just seconds before the crash.

There were reportedly over 185,000 people watching the live stream at the time.

The social media influencer has already received backlash for appearing to be more concerned about his car than his injured friend.

Footage from the livestream shows Jack handing his camera to someone who came to help for them to film him being dragged out of the car window after the crash as he repeatedly commented on the state of his car.

Meanwhile, his friend is covered in blood and holding on to his wrist which appears to be injured as other people comfort him.

Jack eventually walked round to the other side of the McLaren and asked his friend if he was ok but other influencers have criticized him for making it clear that his first worry was the state of his car and making his injured friend film content of the wreckage.

Influencer Corinna Kopf took to X, formerly Twitter, to write: 'Your friends face is gushing blood but you make sure he stays filming from all angles…. nice.'

Jack, who is originally from Long Island, New York but now lives in Los Angeles, California, has 14.9million YouTube subscribers.

He gained his large following of mostly teenage boys for his pranks, stunts and challenge videos which are often filmed in public places, like his Floor is Lava challenges in Walmart and Target.

His videos have garnered criticism as some believe his behavior is rude and abhorrent, with his content largely revolving around annoying and harassing people in public.

Jack has recently received backlash for allegedly antagonizing people for the sake of engaging content before running to hide behind his security guards to prevent the people he is provoking from touching him.

In some videos, he can be seen squaring up to random strangers and having his security guard step in as soon as the person looks as if they are going to retaliate. 

He stands behind the security guard, who is much larger than him, and mocks the person by making comments such as 'what are you gonna do?'.

Earlier this year, Jack and his bodyguard, Kane Kongg, were served legal papers and are being sued by a man who claimed he was punched by Kongg - whose legal name is Justin Goslee.

But his loyal followers find his actions hilarious and entertaining, vehemently defending and encouraging his actions in comment sections and live chats

The car crash comes 10 months after Jack flipped a golf buggy over whilst his girlfriend was in the passenger seat and posted the footage to his YouTube channel.
