YouTuber Jack Doherty is angered by reckless driving, prompting him to lose his license after he was filmed on his phone moments before crashing his $300,000 McLaren

YouTuber Jack Doherty has faced angry calls for his arrest after he was filmed on his mobile phone just moments before crashing his $300,000 McLaren, leaving his passenger covered in blood.

Appearing on the livestream on Kick, the 20-year-old could be seen driving one-handed and looking at his phone while driving at high speeds along the Miami Highway in the pouring rain.

The specially wrapped McLaren 570S slid across the wet road before hitting the metal guardrail, ripping off the hood and destroying the entire front half of the car.

Angry social media users have now criticized Doherty for “reckless driving” and violating Florida law that bans the use of cell phones and other wireless devices while driving.

They claim Doherty should have his license “revoked for life” and are calling on Miami police to “arrest that damn clown” for endangering others. Some even went so far as to suggest that his passenger should file a “gross negligence” lawsuit against Doherty.

More than 185,000 people were watching the kick livestream as Doherty crashed into the metal barrier on the motorway.

The YouTuber escaped unharmed, but his friend Michael David, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was seen with a bleeding face and had to be taken to the hospital.

But not before Doherty handed him the camera and said, “Michael, here.” Film on this phone too.”

Footage from the live stream shows Doherty handing his camera to someone who came to his aid to film him being dragged out of the car window after the accident, while repeatedly commenting on the condition of his car.

Meanwhile, David is covered in blood and holds onto his seemingly injured wrist while others comfort him.

Doherty eventually went to the other side of the McLaren and asked his friend if he was OK, but the content creator is now being criticized online for both his dangerous driving and his initial reaction to the incident.

“He was on the phone and driving and it was raining. “He was more concerned about his car getting damaged than his friend getting hurt,” one angry X user wrote.

“His license must be suspended indefinitely.” “His friend must file a lawsuit against Jack Doherty for gross negligence.”

Angry social media users have now criticized Doherty for “reckless driving” and violating Florida law that bans the use of cell phones and other wireless devices while driving.

“This idiot belongs in jail for many reasons, but this damn idiot was streaming, texting and driving himself while racing in the heavy rain when he crashed,” ranted another.

“Jack Doherty should have had his license permanently revoked.” “He is a danger to everyone around him.”

Another tagged Miami police in his tweet, saying: “So… Jack Doherty is going to lose his license, right?” The guy is seen on camera driving recklessly, engrossed in his cell phone, in the rain …”

“Y’all need to arrest this damn clown,” another user reiterated in a tweet mentioning the police. “Jack Doherty crashed his car on the Miami Highway and filmed himself violating Florida law. He could have killed people through his reckless driving. His driving license must be revoked and he must be banned from driving.’

One user added: “Jack Doherty should have his driving license revoked for life!”

Florida law prohibits the use of cell phones and other wireless devices while driving. Drivers can use their phones in hands-free mode, but the device must not be a distraction.

Under the Wireless Communications While Driving Act, it is illegal for drivers to text, manually type, press buttons, or read data while behind the wheel. However, sending voice texts and playing voice notes is permitted.

The wave of criticism came after fellow influencers blasted Doherty for making it clear his first concern was the condition of his car and for letting his injured friend film the contents of the wreck.

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

He has since been banned from the streaming platform Kick for violating security guidelines. Some believe this is related to the fact that he was seen reading the live chat section of his stream while driving just seconds before the accident.

With his pranks, stunts and challenge videos, often filmed in public places, such as his “Floor is Lava” challenges at Walmart and Target, Doherty gained a large following consisting mostly of teenage boys.

His videos have drawn criticism as some believe his behavior is rude and vile and that his content mostly revolves around harassing and harassing people in public.

Recently, he has received backlash for allegedly upsetting people in order to provide engaging content before hiding behind his security guards to prevent the people he is provoking from touching him.

In some videos, Doherty can be seen taking on random strangers and having his security guard intervene as soon as the person appears to be retaliating.

He stands behind the security guard, who is much taller than him, and makes fun of the person by making comments like “What are you going to do?”

Earlier this year, Doherty and his bodyguard Kane Kongg were served with court documents and are being sued by a man who claimed he was beaten by Kongg – his legal name is Justin Goslee.

But his loyal followers find his actions hilarious and entertaining and vehemently defend and encourage his actions in comment sections and live chats

The car accident came 10 months after Doherty overturned a golf buggy while his girlfriend was in the passenger seat and posted the footage on his YouTube channel.
