Video footage from the scene showed Shank standing beside his severely damaged vehicle as onlookers gathered.
The front of the yellow Mercedes-Benz was completely wrecked, with debris from the crash scattered across the road.
Shank later took to his Instagram page to share photos of the aftermath while expressing his gratitude.
“The craziest thing happened to me today on stream. I crashed! God is good. Sorry for your Benz @habbyforex_. God, thank you. This would have gone worse. Drive safe guys,” he wrote.
