Some wild things get caught on stream, and whether it's people accidentally forgetting to turn off their cameras or getting swatted while live to thousands, you can sometimes be watching the most mundane Twitch stream and get shocked by what you see.
From the reveal that Twitch streamer ZilianOP was faking his disability when he stood up on a stream, we've seen AnaPlaying set her hair on fire while loading into League of Legends, or what about Ice Poseidon being told to leave by a mobster in a Los Angeles restaurant? We've nearly seen it all, but have you ever seen someone get hit by a car while live on Twitch?
As reported by Dexerto, Twitch streamer Vault39 was seemingly hit by a car while live on an April 8 stream.

Vault39 was biking across European cities, and when he pulled over to the side of the road to talk to his chat, he was struck by a vehicle.
The streamer can be heard screaming in pain, and while the clip has since been deleted, it was expanded on via Reddit.
Here, it's claimed that Vault39 was meeting with another Russian streamer Leva2k, who was undertaking the 'Tour De Rome' to different European cities.
The incident reportedly took place when Vault39 was traveling from France, and for those concerned, the OP seems to be okay. Despite being hit by the car and clearly showing signs of injury, he continued to stream until paramedics arrived.
It's noted that Vault39 was wearing a visibility vest and seemed to be as far out of the road as possible, suggesting the driver was at fault here. It's also unclear whether the person stopped.
Thankfully, people rushed to his aid, and in Vault's own words: "Everything seems to be fine."
A video then shows the emergency services looking visibly confused as they try to end the stream.
Even though Vault39 hasn't streamed since, later footage apparently showed him smiling and waving from the hospital.
Responding to the accident, one person said: "Dude that's a full speed hit... and instant primal scream... that insane."
Another shocked onlooker added: "Hopefully a messed up finger is all they walk away with, it definitely sounded a lot worse."
A third said: "I’ve said it before in life and I’ll say it again. If you HAVE to stop on the side of a road, ANY road, large or small, busy or slow, always get as far away from lanes of travel as you can, and face oncoming traffic so you can watch what’s occurring."
Unfortunately, capturing car accidents on stream is becoming an increasing occurrence, with Kick streamer CarSnob recording when another vehicle crashed into his. There's also the infamous moment that Jack Doherty crashed his $200,000 McLaren. Then again, this is what happens when we put everything online.
