Prominent Twitch streamer Edwin "Castro1021" is currently in Qatar to watch the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022.
During an IRL livestream on December 8, the content creator and his friends were driving when they were involved in a deadly car crash. This compelled Edwin to abruptly end the stream.
The final moments of the broadcast went viral on the internet and were shared on social media platforms such as Reddit and Twitter.
Castro1021 took to Twitter earlier today to update the streaming community and said that everyone is fine, including the other driver. He expressed his appreciation to the police for their prompt response and stated:

The VOD (Video on Demand) for the livestream has since been deleted. An automated Reddit account (u/LSFMirror) provided a mirror link showcasing the incident:
Castro1021 updates the community following the harrowing car crash, fans react
In the 44-second-long clip, Castro1021 was seen conversing with an associate while the latter was driving on a seemingly empty highway. However, things changed when the driver noticed something in the side-view mirror and immediately jerked the steering wheel.
It was at that point that another car on Edwin's left-hand side began tumbling and crashing, with sparks flying everywhere. The crashing vehicle then tumbled directly in front of the one the Twitch streamer was in.
Before the broadcast ended, the 26-year-old exclaimed:
"Stop, stop, stop, stop! Cut the stream. Cut the stream! Stop, stop, stop! Holy s**t. Holy s**t! Go, go, go!"
Following the car accident, Castro1021 shared a positive update on his official Twitter. He stated:
"Everyone is okay including the other driver. We’re all grateful for the police on their immediate response and making sure everyone is okay. I love you guys."
More than 400 community members have responded so far, with Kyle Bautista, COO of esports organization Complexity, saying:
