Distracted kid wrecks his McLaren
 
20 YO 'Social Influencer' Jack Doherty hit a shallow drift of water while looking at a hand held phone on a Miami highway and skated across the road into an armco totalling his paint splashed wrap covered McLaren injuring the photographer sitting next to him.
Still on camera with the blood spattered photographer in the passengers seat Doherty can be seen using a lot of french in being annoyed at the state of his wheels and his account on kick has been forfeited for safety reasons.

I find it sick that after he had this incident he asked if his photographer was ok and then proceeded to comment straight about the car rather than get him and his photographer to a safe spot and attend to his photographer who has blood running down his face and head. No car is more important than life.

I can't see the photographer filing a charge against Doherty as he chose to be there doing that which is always a risk but driver could be culpable by the state of not being in full control of car and getting himself in hot water on video with just one hand on the wheel not watching the road conditions.

It would be surprising if there were no further repercussions.

I'm almost sure Florida State will pursue him for that and after his insurance pay out will find it hard for someone to insure him b/c of his age and risk, it's good that other vehicles were not involved.

(Spoken in the driver's language)
No capp, bruh. His driving was sus, for reals. Creepy he didn't have feels for his bro. Cringy he cared more about wheels. It's really got me triggered. Bet he gets a ticket. Facts. You vibing with me? Skibidi, I'm out.

I mean, play stupid games...

I hope no one was expecting any sympathy for either the driver or passenger here.
It looks like at least the driver was belted-in. Can't say that about the passenger.
Do we expect anything different from such modern stupidity? Mix money and cars with phones and immaturity and this is what you get. Is there no provision for hands-free phone operation in a McLaren? Has his "photographer" never heard of a GoPro?

Just found out Diddler did indeed video.

G MONEY 10-07-2024 08:35 AM

What a complete Douche Nozzle. At least it was only a lame ass 570:thumsup:

The unfortunate reality is that he will make a shit ton of money from this by posting it and milking it on his social media pages.

SpacegrayMe90 10-07-2024 11:45 AM

Who the hell are raising these dumbs ass kids? "Bro my fucking car" How about the passenger you almost killed, Jerk!

Photographer going to sue him for everything he's got. You love to see it.

An appropriate meme when I see videos like this.

Pretty simple case, guy runs a business creating videos, dangerous actions caused his injury, evidence is posted.

DocL 10-07-2024 02:11 PM

I love how he says he was doing 42 mph lol. And it's obvious he lost control right after he got on the gas too. Stupid how these tik tok influencfers make money doing this shit. I'm glad he totaled his car sight before his birthday.

I doubt it. He probably signed away his life to work with him. Even if he did sue, the guy will then make money from posting all about the lawsuit. These "influencers" are ruthless and will capitalize on anything and everything.

GuidoK 10-07-2024 05:06 PM

With all the focussing constantly on the camera and constantly considered with how he looks.. you'd almost think it's staged...

NickyC 10-07-2024 05:44 PM

If you know who this kid is, and what he has internet clout for, you would appreciate this accident 10000x more. This little shit got exactly what he deserved. I hope when his insurance sees this, they refuse all reimbursement for the accident.
