Not the first streamer to get into a car accident live on a stream

Streamers getting into accidents while broadcasting IRL (in real life) content has been a recurring phenomenon. Over the past couple of years, many creators have faced criticism for their actions while driving. One such streamer was Jack Doherty.

Kick streamer Jack Doherty was seen driving his brand-new McLaren while streaming in October 2024. However, the streamer was driving with only one hand and ended up crashing his car severely, causing injuries to his cameraman.

He faced further criticism for continuing to film the situation despite the rash and concerning circumstances. Later, he was indefinitely banned from Kick for his reckless actions.

Another streamer who faced criticism for streaming while driving was Squeeze Benz, alongside Rangesh "N3on." During a stream in April 2024, the two were driving a Lamborghini and speeding on the road before getting into an accident.
