YouTuber breaks silence after crashing $200k McLaren while using phone on livestream

His Kick channel appears to be suspended

Doherty, 20, a popular YouTuber, was on his phone whilst at the wheel of the supercar with his friend filming in the passenger seat.

The camera pans forward to show the wet road conditions, capturing the final moments before the content creator veers right and loses control, crashing into the side barrier of a dual carriageway.

No serious injuries were reported, but Doherty’s cameraman had blood on his face following the crash, and it was later confirmed that his injuries required stitches.

Instead of seeking medical help, Doherty pulled his phone out and filmed the aftermath, asking his injured cameraman to keep on recording.

The youtuber has now spoken out following the incident.

Taking to X he posted: "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."

However, despite the apology, Doherty has been slammed online for his reaction as viewers accused him of caring more about his car than his friend.

New footage online shows Doherty being dragged from the car through the window by passersby. He walks around the car saying: “My f**king car, holy s**t no.”

After a few moments, he goes round to the passenger side where cameraman, Michael is still trapped inside, holding his arm with blood running down his face.
