American YouTuber Ishowspeed, known for his IRL (In Real Life) streaming content, was involved in a minor accident while filming in Thailand. The incident occurred when he attempted to drive a tuk tuk and crashed into a temple wall, resulting in a minor head injury.

Ishowspeed, boasting over 20 million followers worldwide, has been enjoying various activities in Thailand, including elephant rides and Muay Thai boxing. During his adventures, he encountered a tuk tuk and expressed a desire to try driving it. The regular driver agreed and gave him instructions on how to operate the vehicle.

Shortly after taking the wheel, Ishowspeed began to accelerate but, due to his unfamiliarity with the tuk tuk, lost control and crashed into a wall of a local temple. The collision caused him to hit his head on the vehicle. Despite the driver’s attempts to assist, the crash happened too quickly to prevent. Ishowspeed sustained a minor head injury from the incident.

Following the accident, the American YouTuber visited the temple’s abbot to apologise for the damage caused. It is believed that he may also compensate for the damages incurred to both the temple and the tuk tuk driver.
