YouTuber Crashes Car Worth $200K In Florida While Distracted By His Phone

A YouTuber crashed an insanely expensive car in Florida because he was distracted by his phone. When will we learn?

If you didn't know by now, distracted driving is very dangerous. That's why we're constantly warned about it and there are laws in place to prevent it. However, despite all the potential consequences we still continue to do it and won't give up being distracted by our phones while driving. Even if it means destroying our $200,000 car!

It doesn't matter how expensive of a car we're driving, if we have our phone with us we're going to end up looking at it. Maybe it's to send a text, take a call, Google something real quick, make a quick video for social, there are so many possibilities and they're all dangerous if you're behind the wheel.

20-year-old Jack Doherty has now reportedly been banned from the streaming site Kick after he crashed his $200,000 sports car (a 2024 McLaren 570S) near Miami, Florida while livestreaming, per Road And Track. It looks like he lost control of the car at one point and hydroplaned across the right traffic lane into a nearby security barrier. Why would you be on your phone while driving that car and in those conditions?! Any driver could see that the road conditions are wet and visibility was low so it was dangerous conditions out there. However, that didn't stop the 20-year-old from trying to appear cool by being on his phone behind the wheel. Not so cool once you hear his screams trying to get the vehicle back under control. Check out the video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @FearedBuck below.

A separate post shows the 2 in the hospital and it looks like passenger got the worst of it here. He's seen in a picture bleeding from his face and it looks bad! Granted, it's understandable if you see the damage done to the car. These 2 are lucky to be alive! It's one thing to go out and mess around on a test track or something but they were out on a road with regular drivers!

It's another example of how influencers will do anything for views and clicks on social media, even if it means putting their life--or the life of a friend and others--on the line. This was not a smart decision. Thankfully, both are reportedly okay and there were no injuries in the crash. They're incredibly lucky, though. There is still no word on if there will be any charges but people online are asking for it and you can't blame them. It will probably take much more than that to teach him a lesson, it seems like. Maybe ban him from social media? If we started doing that we'd see a lot less stupidity and dumb risky stunts out there that could put us in danger. That seems like it could be the only thing to stop them.

April Fool's Day is almost here and we're celebrating with the best celebrity pranks! Sure, we don't care for April Fool's Day very much around here at Dave & Chuck "The Freak." It's not our sense of humor--but there have been some pranks executed that we can appreciate.

Here are some of the funniest celebrity pranks we've seen. Again, don't expect any from us!

There are no shortage of prank programming on TV and the internet. The art of the prank is as old as time; however, it does seem to be evolving.

Growing up, we had Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd on MTV. For many of us that was our introduction to pranks. Some of the biggest celebrities were pranked in hilarious fashion on that show. You had Justin Timberlake (we'll get to that later), Shaq, Kanye West, and more all getting pranked on camera. It was a fantastic show. The remake didn't quite live up to the original.

Now, The Impractical Jokers are incredibly popular. They do different kinds of pranks than we saw on shows like Punk'd. Instead of messing with celebrities, they mess with strangers and it's one of the funniest shows currently airing on TV. Personally, I'm a huge fan.

Pranks are a big part of Late Night TV, as well. We've seen all of the hosts execute pranks. Jimmy Kimmel definitely does a lot and James Corden had some of the best I've seen, as well.

Of course, pranks aren't always funny. You have to know your audience and there should be an agreed upon set of rules. Making a friend cry might sound funny at the time, but it can be traumatic. That's why many people dread April Fool's Day. Sometimes, you might want to leave stuff like that to the professionals. Not everyone is cut out to be Ashton Kutcher, as much as I would love that face on mine. I mean, I'd love to have his face.

Anyways, here are 5 of the most unforgettable celebrity pranks!

I admit, I was never the biggest James Corden fan. However, this is one of the best things he ever did. It's truly hilarious. It's such a well-executed prank. David Beckham is receiving a gift, so he can't be mean about it...but at the same time he has to say something! He's put in such an awkward moment and hilarity ensues.

Speaking of James Corden, he may be known for the pranks he pulled but sometimes the pranker becomes the prankee! Katie Couric got him good on this one. I love the way he panics. Good on Katie. He had this coming.

How could you not love Jennifer Aniston? She's friendly, adorable, and an icon. She's also hilarious and a good sport. She's put in an awkward situation with this interview and comes out on top. I love her.

John Krasinski and Jimmy Kimmel had some funny Prank Wars. The pair dished out prank after prank. However, this one stands above the rest. All of them are great, but I always found this one funny. Check out the whole collection!

Countless celebrities were pranked on Punk'd. However, one stands above all the rest. Unfortunately, that's Justin Timberlake. He was pranked so badly he was brought to tears...on national television. I'm honestly surprised he signed the release waiver! It goes to show he's a good sport. He comes off more likable in the end and more relatable. That's tough for one of the biggest celebrities in the world! Especially at that time! It's one of the best celebrity pranks ever.
