Much of the internet has been left shocked by new footage of Jack Doherty crashing his $200,000 car.
Unless you've been living under a rock in the past day, you would have certainly heard of YouTuber and Kick streamer Jack Doherty binning his McLaren sports car.
Doherty was live-streaming on Kick at the time of the accident, with his pal Michael alongside him as they went down the Miami highway.
The stream appeared to show Doherty looking at his phone while driving, before skidding on the wet road and crashing into the barrier.

In the aftermath of the crash, the streamer could heard screaming 'holy s**t' before turning the camera to Michael, who is bleeding from his face.
After asking his pal if he was alright, Doherty then shouted: "Oh my god bro, my whole f**king car bro!"
Amazingly, Doherty asked one of his rescuers to take the camera and continue recording as the extent of the crash was revealed.
Many flocked to social media to slam the streamer, with one person penning: “Imagine crashing and then your boy says here film this while you're actively bleeding."
“Bro is not okay," another wrote. "This guy still had the audacity to continue filming and making his cameraman film bro."
There is one particular part of the footage that has enraged many fans, with Doherty seemingly more concerned on his damaged car than his injured cameraman.
"This new video of the Jack Doherty crash is even crazier his friend is literally fighting for his life in the car and he’s more worried about the car," one person penned on Twitter.
Later updates have confirmed both Doherty and Michael are doing well, though Michael was seen getting stitches to his face in hospital.
The video also saw Doherty's account removed from Kick, with a spokesperson telling NBC Kick 'does not condone illegal activity, which is why we swiftly took action to ban this creator from the platform'.
Following all the backlash, Doherty issued an update on Sunday (6 October) regarding the matter on Twitter.
He wrote: "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."
UNILAD has contacted Jack Doherty's representatives for a comment.
