Content creator Jack Doherty has surprised his cameraman with a gift following their horrific car crash last weekend.

The streamer and YouTuber made headlines for crashing his $150,000 (£114,000) McLaren supercar on the highway as it poured down with rain.

Doherty, 20, was live streaming on Kick at the time of the crash before losing control of the car, crashing into the barrier on the side of the dual carriageway.

Footage of the incident went viral on social media after the accident, as the American continued to film after totalling his car.

Doherty can be heard shouting 'holy s**t' as he films himself and then his cameraman Michael, who is bleeding from his face, before asking if he was okay.

He then adds: "Oh my god bro, my whole f**king car bro!"

Doherty has received a lot of criticism online for the way he handled the situation.

After the accident, he can be heard asking his cameraman to keep filming him, passing him his phone, despite bleeding from his face and clearly being injured.

Witnesses said that Doherty was more vocal about the state of his car than his friend.

But Doherty has now gone out of his way to apologise to his cameraman for the crash and for inadvertently injuring him, taking to Instagram to share the surprise.

He explained that he got his 'filmer' a 300 horsepower jet-ski as an 'I'm sorry' gift, as he admitted that the crash was his fault.

The content creator also said that it was his birthday today, but said 'it's our birthday after what I put him through a couple of days ago'.

As Michael, sporting some stitches on his face, approached the home, Doherty greeted him next to the jet ski.

Noting that he had wanted it for ages, Michael even joked that the car crash was 'worth it' for his gift.

Doherty calls him 'the best', and it looks like there's no animosity between the two.

It's currently unknown where the streamer crashed, though 49 of 50 US states (Montana being the odd one out) have laws against using your phone while at the wheel.

A spokesperson from Kick also confirmed Doherty's ban from the platform, telling LADbible: "KICK does not condone illegal activity, which is why we swiftly took action and moved to ban this creator from the platform."
