A YouTuber who crashed a $200,000 car while live streaming was asked an insane question after the incident.
YouTuber Jack Doherty broadcast the car crash on a live stream on October 5, while driving with his friend in a McLaren sports car down a rainy highway in Miami, Florida.
In the video, he could be seen using his phone while behind the wheel of the car before he seemed to lose control of the vehicle and crashed it into a barrier.

When officers attended the scene, he was asked about what had happened to which he replied with, ‘I don’t know what happened’.
This has left viewers reeling after they had witnessed the 20-year-old seemingly get distracted by his phone while driving the car.
Taking to the YouTube comment section, one user wrote: “‘I don't know what happened’ still can't stop looking at his phone.”
And another added: “What happened here? Jack Dorkey: Bro you weren’t watching the stream?”
More than 185,000 viewers saw the incident occur on the now-deleted Kick stream.
Doherty’s strange reaction after the crash also left online onlookers foaming at the mouth.
Instead of immediately ensuring the wellbeing of his friend and fellow crash victim Michael, Doherty continued to stream the aftermath to his viewers.

To make matters worse, the streamer was seen handing a camera to his friend asking him to ‘film with this phone too’, despite his injuries.
Reacting to the clip, one X user stated: “Hope you got to jail speeding in the rain on your phone.”
Meanwhile, another user commented: “Texting while driving. You should be in jail. I hope your friend gets out of his NDA and sues you.”
Florida, where the incident allegedly took place, has a ban on texting while driving.
As stated by Shaked Law, drivers in the Sunshine State are prohibited from ‘entering multiple numbers, letters or symbols’ into a phone, or wireless communications device, while driving.
On October 6, Doherty took to his X account to reply to criticisms about the incident. While a ‘more detailed response’ is planned for later, the streamer shared that he was ‘grateful’ that Michael and himself were still alive.
He said: “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 still a huge learning lesson.”
