Twitch streamer Isaiah Thomas, who goes by Humbles A Online, got hit by a car while live on stream during his massive 3,000 mile walk from Philadelphia to California. He's raising cash for a trade school for kids who can't afford college, and this happened on day 34 along Route 40 in Richmond, Indiana. A fan offered to escort him from behind with hazard lights flashing after he checked with police. Normally, he faces oncoming traffic with reflectors and a car to front, but this time, the car smacked the escort vehicle, which then clipped him from behind. Thomas said it felt like slow motion, as he glided through the air with thoughts racing about whether his journey was done.

He showed cops the stream clip right there, and both cars were totaled, though drivers
