The YouTuber that crashed his McLaren while live streaming and using his phone has addressed the incident for the first time.

Content creator and YouTuber Jack Doherty went viral for all the wrong reasons over the weekend, as footage showed the 20-year-old speeding down a dual carriageway before crashing and wrecking his $150,000 (£114,000) McLaren supercar.

He was live-streaming on Kick during the crash, and clips of the footage went viral on social media shortly after the crash. Doherty seems to have been driving down the highway in heavy rain while using his phone, though it isn’t clear what caused him to lose control.

In the aftermath, the streamer can be seen in disbelief, screaming ‘holy s**t’ before turning the camera to his cameraman Michael, who is bleeding from his face, and asking: “Are you okay?”

He then shouts: “Oh my god bro, my whole f**king car bro!”

The McLaren was wedged under the barricade, with parts of the body spread out across the road – though what he does next is what he gets criticised for the most, on top of his phone usage.

He asks his injured friend to keep recording, passing the phone to him, as witnesses confirmed that Doherty was in disbelief over the state of his car, saying: “My f**king car, holy s**t no.”

Later updates on his social media accounts confirmed that him and his cameraman were well and not severely injured in the incident, though showed that Michael was getting stitches to his face.

He also thanked fans for reaching out and checking on him.

People in the comments called for him to get ‘jail time’ and labelled it ‘irresponsible driving’, while being baffled that his first reaction after crashing was to keep streaming.

But last night (6 October), just one day after the crash, Doherty posted an update on X.

He wrote: “Going to post a more detailed response today but it’s been 24 hours since the accident and I just want to say how grateful I am that Michael and I are alive. I’m so sorry Michael for putting you thru that.

“Thank you to all the first responders and everyone who helped us get out of the car. This could’ve been so much worse and it’s a huge learning lesson,” he concluded.

It also appears that Doherty’s channel on Kick has been banned/removed following the incident, as visiting the page comes with with an error message.

It’s also currently unknown where the streamer crashed, though 49 of 50 US states (Montana being the odd one out) have laws against using your phone while at the wheel.

LADbible group has approached Doherty’s representatives and Kick for comment.

Viewers have been left horrified and demanding ‘jail time’ after watching footage of streamer and influencer Jack Doherty crashing his McLaren.

The 20-year-old YouTuber and content creator has made headlines after footage emerged of him crashing his high-powered McLaren supercar into the railing on a dual carriageway.

It would appear that Doherty had been live-streaming on Kick at the time of the crash, with footage from the incident subsequently appearing online.

In the videos – which have been shared on X – the content creator appears to be driving down a highway in heavy rain while seemingly distracted by his phone. It’s unclear what exactly causes Doherty to lose control of his vehicle, as he begins to swerve to the right and smashes into the railing.

The video then cuts to the aftermath of the crash, where a shocked Doherty can be seen standing outside the car exclaiming ‘Holy s**t’ before turning the camera towards his cameraman Michael, who is bleeding from the face, and asking: “Are you okay?”

“Oh my god bro, my whole f**king car bro,” he adds, showing the car wedged under the barricade with parts of the bonnet strewn across the road. He then hands the phone to his injured friend and asks him to continue recording.

Another video depicts the moment onlookers pulled Doherty and his friend from the car.

Witnesses rescued the content creator and his friend from the car while they continue filming, with Doherty heard saying: “My f**king car, holy s**t no.”

Doherty later shared updates on the aftermath of the crash on his social media accounts, confirming that both he and his cameraman Michael were not seriously injured in the incident, however, Michael did require stitches to his face.

The video creator has also posted an update on his own account, thanking everyone who reached out to check if he was okay after seeing the video.

While Doherty’s followers were relieved to see that he and Michael were safe a lot of people online were not impressed by the video and have called for the content creator to face repercussions for his actions.

“License suspended, jail time,” one person wrote on X. “This is well documented reckless driving. At a minimum he should be banned on all platforms for this.”

“Irresponsible driving,” a second person commented, while a fourth added: “So your telling me he started recording the moment the crash happened… yeah wtf.”

It would also appear that Doherty’s Kick channel has been removed in the wake of the incident, with a link to his page now coming up with an error message.

It’s unclear where exactly Doherty had crashed, a road sign spotted in his video suggests he was in Florida, however, it’s worth noting that all of the US states (with the exception of Montana) have restrictions on using your phone while driving.
