Kick streamer Adin Ross’ viewers face multiple charges for driving car into a lake for money

Adin Ross has been long in the center of controversy and was even banned from live streaming on Twitch. The ban is yet to be revoked as he continues to appear on the competing platform Kick.

In the latest incident, some viewers of Adin Ross drove their car into a lake as part of a daring challenge. They were influenced by the streamer, who offered them money if they did it.

Adin Ross’ fan drives car into lake for money

The popular streamer hosts streaming sessions where he reacts to videos sent by his audience. During a stream, he dared one of them to drive their car into the water.

This happened in Port Moody, British Colombia. A group of boys were seen streaming the incident live on Kick. One of them spoke with Adin Ross, who told them that the challenge had nothing to do with him and wanted him to repeat the words on camera.

After that, the boy got in the car, and he could be seen driving the car into the water before getting out in a video shared on Twitter. Later, Adin Ross was heard saying that he would send the money after a tow truck arrived on the scene.

The cops arrive on the scene soon, possibly informed by someone watching the livestream. They arrested the driver, but he was released later on. Police said the Vancouver department was notified of the stunt going on social media. They soon located the location in Rocky Point by boating through the stream before arriving there.

Constable Sam Zacharia, who was present there, termed the incident ‘reckless’. He was particularly concerned that people would do anything to get viral and pull off social media stunts.

What charges Adin Ross fans are facing for their recklessness?

The boy driving the car could be charged with misdemeanor and dangerous handling of a vehicle. He has confessed to the police that the motive behind this was linked to money promised by Adin Ross.

Since the kick streamer was directly involved in aiding the criminal offense, he could also be charged with a lawsuit. But as this was happening during a stream, Adin’s native residence in America could pose a challenge to the law enforcers.

There was no statement from Adin Ross regarding the incident on his social media channels.
