5:44 PM PT -- Kick ... one of his primary platforms ... confirms to TMZ that Jack Doherty has been banned following the crash.

"Kick does not condone illegal activity, which is why we swiftly took action and moved to ban this creator from the platform," the streamer told us.

JD got into a nasty car wreck while on a recent live stream ... and it appears the guy was texting while driving in the rain when it went down.

Here's the deal -- the 20-year-old internet personality was cruising down a slick Miami highway in his expensive whip Saturday morning while on the platform, Kick ... with the beginning of the now-viral moment showing him looking down at his phone while behind the wheel.

Doherty suddenly loses control of the vehicle, screaming as he smashes into a roadside railing -- and his cameraman in the passenger seat, who was capturing the whole thing, begins to moan in pain after the big hit.

There's a bit of panic heard as the camera gets knocked out -- and the aftermath eventually confirms just how bad the crash was.

His cameraman reportedly had some minor damage, with blood spotted on his face -- outlets claim the 2 were sent to the hospital, with the man behind the camera getting some stitches.

BTW, it seems Doherty has been catching heat ever since Saturday's wreck ... with many online pointing out Jack was more concerned about his McLaren than the dude that was with him.

He's since claimed he's banned from Kick since the near-fatal ordeal, too.

Vanderbilt Univ. scored a stunning win over Alabama on Saturday -- one of the biggest ever for the team -- and they celebrated with one of the craziest celebrations ever ... ripping the goalpost out of the ground and dragging it miles away for its new home in a famous river!!!

Dwayne Johnson wanted to shed his wrestling nickname when he became an actor, but Saturday night he was absolutely The Rock as he made a thunderous return to the ring!

Here's how it went down ... Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes were celebrating their victory against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at the State Farm Arena in Georgia, when The Rock's theme song began reverberating through the arena and the crowd went wild.

As Cody held the belt over his head, The Rock appeared with his own hardware -- the People's Champion belt -- and gave Cody a blank stare as he counted down from 3 with his fingers.

The two people who say they sustained gnarly wounds in the Rashee Rice car crash earlier this year are now hoping the Chiefs star's own recent injury will expedite an amicable resolution to their impending lawsuit.

Edvard Petrovskiy and Irina Gromova said in court documents filed back in April that they suffered brain trauma, lacerations to their face, bruises on their bodies, as well as internal bleeding after Rice and his friend lost control of their sports cars on March 30 and crashed into their ride while speeding down a Texas highway.

Petrovskiy and Gromova asked for no less than $10 million in punitive damages -- but there appears to be no disposition to the suit in sight ... as court records show a trial in the case isn't slated to begin until June 2025.

But, Sanjay S. Mathur, the attorney representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement to TMZ Sports this week that following the wide receiver's knee injury Sunday ... he's hopeful things will now change.

"We are saddened to hear about Rashee Rice's injury on the football field and hope for his quick recovery," Mathur said. "We recognize that injuries can significantly impact one's life, causing both physical pain and mental distress. They disrupt routines, hobbies, daily chores, and activities. Injuries often lead to medical procedures and bills, and they can hinder one’s ability to earn a living."

"We are struck by the fact that Rice was injured at a time when the plaintiffs in our case against him are seeking justice for their own injuries," Mathur continued. "We hope that these recent developments will foster empathy, a resolve to seek resolution, and, most importantly, an acceptance of responsibility toward the injured parties in our case."

Rice, who has previously expressed remorse for his role in the wreck, was hurt while attempting to make a tackle following a Patrick Mahomes interception against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium. The extent of his injury has not yet been revealed -- although the Chiefs have placed him on injured reserve ... meaning he'll miss at least the next four Kansas City games.

The famed haunted house from "Poltergeist" is getting revived following a recent sale ... and it's coming back as a short term rental.

Christian Melgar and Zo Amilee with Coldwell Banker Realty Westlake Village tell TMZ ... the Simi Valley, CA house sold Friday for $1.28 million, which was $100,000 over the asking price.

We're told the new owner is an investor from Los Gatos, CA ... and they are planning to turn the home into an Airbnb that will replicate the actual "Poltergeist" film set.

In other words, each room will have furniture and décor that makes the space look just how it looked in the film.

Halloween is right around the corner and horror movie buffs would line up to rent the place, but we're told the home won't be ready in time ... because the owner wants to make it perfect and not rush things.

So, maybe next year folks.

As we reported ... the home -- which served as the central location in the Steven Spielberg-scripted supernatural flick -- went on the market back in August, the first time in 45 years the home had been listed.

Trump took the stage from behind bulletproof glass and drew a laugh when he started his speech like this ... "As I was saying." He then pointed to the famous border-crossing chart he said helped save his life back in July when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on him from a nearby rooftop.

DT says the shooter failed to silence him and the MAGA movement ... and folks in the crowd were waving "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" signs in a nod to Donald's iconic moment from after the shooting.

Elon, who is endorsing Trump, is in attendance ... as is Trump's running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.

Trump's on the record saying he's back in Butler to finish his rally ... and the "as I was saying" crack was delivered as only Trump could.

While Trump was only grazed in the ear in the shooting, one person died ... former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore. Trump paid tribute to CC at the rally, and Corey's widow, Helen, returned to the venue, along with members of their family.
