Another wild event has landed in the lap of live streamer iShowSpeed during his tour across the United States, as a stream sniper attempting to disrupt the broadcast causes a hit and run after striking a motorbike.
Darren "iShowSpeed" Watkins Jr has made a name for himself all around the world with his crazy streams on YouTube, as his globe-trotting antics have seen him step into the octagon with a former UFC champion, race the fastest man in the world, and even become the mayor of a Peruvian city.
His latest lengthy marathon has taken him back to American soil though, as he's traveling all around the United States with his entourage in order to capture just about anything and everything on his stream.
While there have been some wholesome moments, including one where he was able to meet his biological sister for the very first time at a family event, there has also been plenty of chaos, including one fan smashing a restaurant window with his own head.

Perhaps the wildest thing so far happened just recently though, as an alleged stream sniper became the culprit in a hit and run as they attempted to block Speed from moving past a green light at an intersection.
If you're unaware of what stream snipers are, they typically happen in multiplayer titles when a viewer attempts to join the streamer's game and either focus or troll them by using their own stream as information.
However, with the rise of IRL (in real life) streams, the concept of stream snipers have been taken to a whole new level and it's something that Speed has had to deal with on a number of occasions.
As reported by Dexerto, this particular alleged stream sniper was stopped ahead of Speed's car at an intersection, and seemingly refused to move despite both the green light and the streamer's screams.

"Go! It's f***ing green! This dude is dumb bro," iShowSpeed repeatedly shouted at the car ahead while poking out of his own vehicle's sun roof, accompanied by incessant honking that still didn't get the message across.
The car eventually decided to storm ahead, but not before crashing into someone crossing the road with their motorbike in front of them, although thankfully it appeared as if the person themselves wasn't injured.
Instead of stopping to apologize and check if the motorbike rider was alright, the car instead continued to drive on, speeding ahead in what most people have called a classic hit and run.
Unfortunately for them, not only was their alleged crime caught on camera by Speed's stream, but it was also captured by a news helicopter who was primarily there to follow the popular streamer.
The helicopter managed to keep its camera feed on the speeding car, focusing intently on the license plate so the driver has little chance of getting away without any form of punishment.
"They literally got you on the news," Speed remarked while watching the footage from the helicopter. "He just got caught live on the news bro, an actual donut."
