Twitch streamer Melt and Kick streamer Marinotlive banned following high-speed crash

Two popular streamers were banned from their platforms after a high-speed street race crash in Georgia on November 29, which was broadcast live to thousands of viewers.

Twitch streamer Melt, known for IRL driving content, had three passengers in his car while streaming, and Kick streamer Marinotlive followed behind in a separate vehicle, also live streaming the drive.

Footage shared on social media platforms, including X and Reddit, shows both drivers speeding through late-night traffic before the crash. Clips reveal Marinotlive cutting across multiple lanes at high speed, losing control, and striking the rear of Melt’s car. Viewers heard screams as Melt’s vehicle spun toward the highway median. A second clip shows Melt’s car heavily damaged on the shoulder, while authorities confirmed several people were injured, though none sustained life-threatening injuries.

Fans on social media noted this was not Melt’s first live-streamed crash, with some claiming it was at least his third. Reports from Reddit corroborated previous incidents involving reckless driving during streams.

In response to the incident, Twitch and Kick removed both live streams, permanently banning Melt’s Twitch channel and making Marinotlive’s Kick page inaccessible. Neither streamer has issued a public statement regarding the crash or their bans.

The incident highlights the growing risks of live-streamed content featuring dangerous stunts. Authorities continue to investigate the crash, and the bans reflect stricter enforcement of platform safety policies for IRL streaming. Both Twitch and Kick emphasize that real-time dangerous behavior, such as high-speed street racing, violates community guidelines and can result in permanent removal from the platforms.

This event serves as a cautionary tale for live streamers, audiences, and platforms about the dangers of broadcasting illegal and reckless driving online.
