A 23-year-old IRL and “Just Chatting” streamer known as Jackie has gone viral after crashing her car during a live broadcast, leading to her ban from the streaming platform Kick.
The incident occurred when Jackie was driving while interacting with her viewers. In the footage shared online, she appears distracted by her phone before losing control and colliding with another vehicle.
Jackie later admitted, “I just hit a car,” and faced widespread criticism from viewers, who condemned her reckless behavior and warned of the dangers of streaming while driving.

The other driver and I are both fine, and insurance is handling it, but I got lucky, this could’ve been much worse,” she said.
She clarified that she was not intoxicated and emphasized that the distraction came solely from streaming. “I take full responsibility and I won’t be streaming while driving again,” she added.
Jackie’s Kick channel was quickly banned, cutting off her primary streaming outlet. Before the crash, she had around 9,700 followers, with recent streams attracting a few hundred viewers.
Online reactions were swift and critical. One commenter said, “This should be a permanent ban instantly. Someone will definitely get hurt if this behavior continues.”
Another added, “She barely looks at the road… It’s crazy people like this are out there with us.”
The incident highlights the risks of live-streaming from behind the wheel. Experts warn that interacting with an audience while driving creates dangerous distractions, and platforms are increasingly taking action to prevent such incidents.
For now, Jackie’s channel remains shut down, and her future as a streamer is uncertain. The platform’s ban serves as a warning that live-streaming and driving should never mix.
