The video showed that after a few seconds, Jack Doherty lost control of the vehicle and screamed as he skidded across the right lane and crashed into a guard rail.

The video on the streaming platform then went blank, and the cameraman in the passenger seat was heard crying in pain. They struggled to escape the wrecked vehicle, with cries of "Open the door! Open the door!" reported by the outlet.



 

The video then cut to Doherty inspecting his wrecked, custom-painted car, where he was seen kicking his mangled vehicle twice.

He exclaimed that "all my money's gone" and went on to rant about the significant amount he spent on the car, including a custom exhaust system and its paintball-gun-splatter paint job.

According to his YouTube channel, Doherty purchased the McLaren at the end of 2023 for $202,850.10. His cameraman sustained minor injuries in the accident, with blood dripping down his face afterward, as per TMZ.
