Internet personality Jack Doherty crashed his $200,000 McLaren during a livestream this weekend after appearing to look at his phone while driving in the rain.

A YouTuber with nearly 15 million subscribers, Doherty, 20, is known online for his controversial prank videos and wealth flaunting. He streamed the crash on Kick, where his channel appears to have been banned following the incident.

A clip of the stream that circulated online appeared to show Doherty seemingly speeding on a wet highway while glancing down at the phone in his hand, before exclaiming “No, no, no!” as he lost control of his car and veered into a guardrail.

Doherty also shared clips of the aftermath, including a video of him screaming for help inside the vehicle immediately after the crash. In the video, he asked one of his rescuers to hold the camera for him as a group of bystanders dragged him out of the window.
