IShowSpeed’s initial stream in his highly anticipated Asia tour faced challenges as the popular YouTuber crashed a Tuk Tuk just moments after starting.
In recent years, IShowSpeed has emerged as one of the top streamers worldwide. The young YouTube sensation has done everything from playing FIFA in his bedroom to collaborating with his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, streaming at the World Cup, and even releasing his own music.
He has recently taken his streams on tour more frequently, which previously landed him in the hospital during his travels in Japan. He has also faced issues as fans have damaged rental cars during his adventures.
His next significant streams will occur throughout Asia, as he participates in the Gumball 3000 rally, which runs from Saigon to Singapore. However, Speed plans to divert from the rally to pursue his own activities.
Unfortunately, his first stream in Thailand encountered difficulties when, just minutes into the stream, he lost control of a Tuk Tuk and crashed into the wall of a temple.
The streamer attempted to slow the vehicle down and sought assistance to stop it but ultimately could not prevent the crash.

Speed expressed concern about a possible head injury and quickly checked himself, finding no immediate signs of harm. However, upon checking again later, he noticed visible bruising in the same area where he had previously injured his eye.

Regarding the damage to the Tuk Tuk, the YouTuber was informed that he would need to wait for the driver to speak with his boss to determine next steps.
Despite the incident, it didn’t seem to dampen Speed’s enthusiasm; he hopped back into a rickshaw nearly an hour later, this time without the responsibility of driving.
