Jack Doherty’s Kick channel taken down after crashing McLaren during livestream

Kick streamer Jack Doherty was distracted by his phone while driving in the rain, which resulted in a car crash during a recent livestream.

After losing control of his McLaren, he eventually had an accident involving a collision with the roadside fence. The content creator’s Kick channel was taken down after the crash and is unable to be viewed right now.

Before it was removed, the streamer had more than 185,000 subscribers on his Kick channel.

A video of the stream that went viral online seemed to show Doherty racing on a rainy highway, looking down at the phone he was holding, and then saying, “No, no, no!” after he swerved into a railing after losing control of his vehicle.

Doherty also posted videos of the aftermath, one of which showed him yelling for assistance from inside the car just moments after the collision. As he was being dragged out of the window by a group of bystanders in the video, he asked one of his rescuers to hold the camera for him.

The streamer received swift backlash from viewers giving the impression that his totaled McLaren was more important to him than his cameraman, who was still inside the vehicle and appeared to be bleeding from the head and grasping his arm.

Doherty’s Kick account vanished shortly after the accident went viral on October 5. According to an official from the streaming site, Kick “does not condone ilefal activity, which is why we swiftly took action to ban this creator from the platform.”

Several Kick community guidelines, such as the one that states to “prioritize your safety and the safety of those around you by avoiding dangerous behavior,” appear to have been broken by the content of the stream.

“Safety First: Prioritize safety for yourself and your audience, the public, and anyone else involved,” the guidelines further stated. “If someone is in danger or needs help, turn your camera away and contact local EMS immediately.”

Jack Doherty is well-known for getting into conflicts, many of which stem from his on-stream beahvior. His physical altercation with fellow streamer Rangesh “N3on” in June 2024 was one such instance. At the time of disagreement, Doherty was banned from Kick.

The content creator is also known for frequently showing off how wealthy he is. He frequently hosts livestreams from his estate or displays his expensive automobile collection. The streamer also owns a Lamborghini Urus, which is said to be worth $230,000 (aprroximately 13 million pesos).
