MrBeast shocks Logan Paul with horrifying car crash story: \u201cI almost died\u201d YouTube: IMPAULSIVEJimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is one of the world\u2019s most popular YouTubers \u2014 but he and his crew almost suffered a horrible fate after driving back home from filming a lengthy video. There\u2019s almost no one who frequents YouTube who hasn\u2019t heard of MrBeast. The North Carolina-based content creator has become one of the platform\u2019s biggest stars, boasting over 68 million subscribers on his main channel, alone. Known for orchestrating insane challenges, filming large-scale videos, and giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars to his friends and local communities, MrBeast holds nothing back when it comes to his content. However, Donaldson and his friend group have done enough crazy stunts to warrant some concern on the part of his viewers \u2014 like that time he buried himself alive for 50 hours \u2014 but nothing comes close to the story he regaled to fellow YouTuber Logan Paul. During a September 7 episode of the imPaulsive podcast, MrBeast described the horrifying moment when he and his friends \u201calmost died\u201d while traveling back home from filming an 8-hour video the day before. Donaldson made sure to clarify that he and his friends had not been drinking the night prior and had all gotten a full night\u2019s sleep. Unfortunately, the driver of the car they were taking on the way back home fell ill \u2014 and immediately fell asleep at the wheel after notifying MrBeast of his condition. \u201cI\u2019m looking at the road, and I turn around and look to my left, and his head\u2019s just bobbling,\u201d he described, mimicking his friend\u2019s comatose state. \u201cHis arms just went limp.\u201d After taking hold of the wheel, Donaldson yelled at his friend to \u201cwake the f**k up,\u201d before his other friend in the backseat \u201cliterally punched him in the head\u201d \u2014 to no avail. \u201cSo we\u2019re screaming, \u2018Wake up!\u2019 as we\u2019re going down the highway, and his foot is still on the gas, so we\u2019re slowly going faster,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe\u2019re going 80, 85. \u2026and I\u2019m just like, \u2018Tyler, I don\u2019t think this f**ker is gonna wake up.’\u201d Luckily, MrBeast managed to avoid running into anyone while he took his friend\u2019s foot off the gas (all while simultaneously steering the car based on the sound of the wheel hitting the paint strip on the road), tapping the brakes with his hand to get the vehicle to slow down. Once the crew had stopped on the side of the road, his friend regained consciousness and promptly slammed on the accelerator. Donaldson then turned the wheel away from the road and toward a concrete wall, which stopped them from going any further \u2014 although MrBeast did end up suffering a head injury. It turns out that MrBeast\u2019s comatose friend had suffered sudden cardiac arrest in the middle of their trip back home due to a highly rare condition. \u201cBy all metrics, he was literally dead, and there was a dead man driving the car,\u201d Donaldson explained. (Topic begins at 19 minutes) Luckily, the entire crew emerged (mostly) unscathed, and their friend at the wheel is alive and well \u2014 but the horrifying ordeal certainly made for an interesting story!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
