Watch: Jack Doherty banned from Kick after nasty car accident

Jack Doherty

Popular streamer Jack Doherty got into a car accident and crashed his brand-new McLaren on-air, something that has seemingly gotten him banned from streaming platform Kick.

Jack Doherty is dubbed “the world’s worst streamer” because of the kind of content he creates. The streamer is infamous for things ranging from getting into fights to flipping a golf cart over on top of his girlfriend. The controversial streamer is in the news once again after crashing his brand-new luxury car.

The car accident occurred while he was streaming and Kick has banned Jack Doherty in the incident’s aftermath. The incident scared fans and shook Doherty himself, though there were no serious injuries.

What caused Jack Doherty’s car accident?

Jack Doherty was using his phone while driving at a high rate of speed, which was followed by him losing control of his car and crashing into a guard rail.

The streamer was on-air while driving his brand-new McLaren when the incident occurred. However, the streamer was shown to be using his phone while driving on a highway, speeding by vehicles in the next lane over. This was all despite the fact that it was raining. 

Doherty’s actions immediately before the accident aren’t shown, but the camera moves back to him as the car fishtails into the next lane. Doherty can be seen spinning the steering wheel while shouting “no.” This led to a severe crash that totaled his car.

After the car accident, Jack Doherty handed the camera to his cameraman, who continued to record even though his face was covered in blood. The streamer was more interested in getting a shot with his damaged car rather than the safety of his injured passenger. Doherty later tweeted a video to fans of himself and his cameraman in the hospital. His cameraman can be seen getting stitches, though this seems to be the extent of the injuries from the crash.

Kick banned Jack Doherty after crash

The streaming platform Kick immediately banned Jack Doherty after the car accident.

Fortunately, there don’t seem to be any serious injuries as a result of the crash. However, the Kick streamer using his phone while driving led to incredible backlash. Rather than well-wishes from fans, his updates were full of criticism for what is seemingly a textbook case of reckless driving.

Kick is known to let many things slide, so it’s a surprise to many that the platform took such immediate action. Twitch is historically very aggressive when it comes to dealing with cases of distracted driving. Even the likes of Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker have been banned for relatively minor incidents of distracted driving.

Jack Doherty posted the stream of the car accident on his official X account. The video has since been deleted, but has been saved and uploaded far and wide since.
