YouTuber Jack Doherty crashed his $300,000 McLaren, leaving his friend covered in blood in a horrific incident that has gone viral online.
The 20-year-old was broadcasting live on Kick and could be seen driving with one hand and looking at his phone while driving at high speed in the pouring rain before losing control of the supercar.
The customized McLaren 570S skidded on the wet road in Miami before hitting the metal barrier on the side of the road, ripping off the hood and destroying the entire front half of the car.
Jack managed to escape unharmed, but his friend Michael David, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could be seen with blood running down his face and had to be taken to hospital.
But not before Jack handed him the camera and said, ‘Michael, here. Film on that phone too.

Jack, originally from Long Island, New York, but now living in Los Angeles, California, has 14.9 million subscribers on YouTube.
Jack has since been banned from the Kick streaming platform for violating safety guidelines, which some believe relates to him being seen reading the live chat section of his stream while driving just seconds before the accident. .
There were reportedly more than 185,000 people watching the live broadcast at the time.
The social media influencer has already received criticism for appearing more concerned about his car than his injured friend.
Footage from the live stream shows Jack handing his camera to someone who came to help them to film him being dragged out the car window after the accident while repeatedly commenting on the state of his car.
Meanwhile, his friend is covered in blood and grabs his wrist, which appears to be injured while other people comfort him.
Jack eventually walked to the other side of the McLaren and asked his friend if he was okay, but other influencers criticized him for making it clear that his first concern was the state of his car and having his injured friend film the contents of the wreckage. .

Jack, originally from Long Island, New York, but now living in Los Angeles, California, has 14.9 million subscribers on YouTube.
He gained a large following, mostly teenagers, for his pranks, stunts, and challenge videos that are often filmed in public places, such as his Floor is Lava challenges at Walmart and Target.
His videos have received criticism because some believe his behavior is rude and abhorrent, and that his content largely revolves around annoying and harassing people in public.
Jack has recently received backlash for allegedly getting angry at people in order to provide sexy content before running to hide behind his security guards to prevent the people he is provoking from touching him.
In some videos, he can be seen confronting random strangers and having his security guard intervene as soon as the person looks like they are going to retaliate.
He stands behind the security guard, who is much bigger than him, and taunts the person by making comments like “what are you going to do?”
Earlier this year, Jack and his bodyguard, Kane Kongg, were served with legal papers and are being sued by a man who claimed to have been beaten by Kongg, whose legal name is Justin Goslee.
But his loyal followers find his actions funny and entertaining, vehemently defending and encouraging his actions in comment sections and live chats.
The car accident comes 10 months after Jack overturned a golf cart while his girlfriend was in the passenger seat and posted the footage to his YouTube channel.
