Viral Video: It’s Speed’s world and we are just living in it- is something that the fans of YouTuber Darren Watkins Jr wholeheartedly believe. And judging by all the shenanigans he goes through in every country he visits, the phrase only seems to be rather true. Darren, who is more popular by the name IShowSpeed, is currently in Thailand for his ongoing Southeast Asia tour, and let’s say that the influencer managed to fall into yet another ‘speed moment’ that left people somewhat entertained and a hundred per cent intrigued. A video of Speed was shared on social media, where he was seen test-driving a Tuk-Tuk. Unfortunately, the YouTuber soon lost control and accidentally crashed the vehicle into a temple. Yes, you read that correctly- nothing but another bizarre ‘Speed moment’.
The video went viral on social media for all the obvious reasons. But soon after the crash, the YouTuber did something that proved why the influencer is so much loved despite the chaos that often surrounds him. A few more clips were shared on social media, where iShowSpeed was seen paying for the vehicle’s damage to the Tuk-Tuk owner, bringing a bright smile to his face. In another video, the YouTuber was seen apologising to a Monk for the temple damage, along with explaining what went wrong.
The video was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘SpeedUpdates1’. The post was captioned, “Speed tries to drive clutch for the first time ever and ends up crashing.” The video was shared yesterday and pulled more than 6M views from people.
“Speed of course went back and paid for all the damages,” the post was further updated.
