A friend was filming in the passenger seat as the two were live-streaming on the platform Kick.
Jack, who was captured using his phone behind the wheel, lost control of the car and rammed into a roadside railing. Fellow commuters stopped to help the pair out of the car, and the cameraman was filmed bleeding in the passenger seat.

Some netizens criticised the Kick streamer for being more focused on getting the wreckage filmed from multiple angles rather than the wellbeing of his bleeding friend.
“This kid is a total menace to society and I hope someday someone really teaches him a lesson,” read one comment while another said the crash was “deserved. This dude is a menace to society.”
“He crashed and continued filming too. Absolutely ridiculous!!! He’s lucky he didnt kill someone,” a social media user said

“Someone send this to his insurance company,” read a third comment.
Others agreed by leaving remarks like “Well deserved” and “This generation is beyond stupid and UNappreciative” in the comments section.
“He crashed and continued filming too. Absolutely ridiculous!!! He’s lucky he didnt kill someone,” another wrote.
The crashed McLaren is reportedly just one of several fancy cars from his nearly $787,000 collection
“Hands the camera to his passenger friend, who's bleeding from the head and tells him to film him and make him look good,” one said. “I can't even make this stuff up.”
Following the incident, Kick took action against Jack and banned him from the streaming platform.
"Kick does not condone illegal activity, which is why we swiftly took action and moved to ban this creator from the platform," the streamer said.
