Jack Doherty Crashes Custom McLaren On Stream ... Texting While Driving?

update

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.

LEARNING THE LAW

Of course, JB boasted about the experience on IG ... which backfired when it caught the attention of the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation (DESI), which confirmed she was under investigation for the bizarre clout chase stunt, according to Daily Mail.

The agency made it clear last month they were cracking down on people feeding crocs ... 'cause it's not just super dangerous -- it makes them more aggressive and less afraid of humans. She faces a fine of $2,580, per the agency.

Jaylie must know the situation is serious ... 'cause she has since posted a video apologizing ... and calling the dangerous feeding a "silly mistake."

JB is attempting to do something of a judo move with her ma culpa ... attempting to educate others on the law.

We've reached to DESI for more info ... so far, no word back.
