Horror moment Twitch streamer Sidneuke films herself ‘running over a dog while looking at her phone live on camera’
SHOCKING footage appears to show the moment a Twitch streamer ran over a dog while distracted by her phone live on camera.
The Polish influencer, who goes by the name Sidneuke on the social media platform, was driving along and talking to fans when she appeared to suddenly hit something.
She was looking down at her phone to check a notification at that moment.
Distressing footage shows the streamer’s jaw drop as her car seemingly strikes something in the road – prompting the sound of a dog whimpering.
The sound of a canine crying gets louder as she jumps out of her vehicle and looks around.
She then begins ranting about dogs, saying: “If someone lets the dogs out and it’s not a one-off situation.
“These dogs are constantly on the street.
“I’m saying straight away that dogs shouldn’t be free. This is wrong and against the law.
“You can’t leave dogs unattended.”
It is understood she then got back in her car and drove off.
Twitch suspended her account shortly after the incident on Friday.
A note when trying to access Sidneuke’s channel reads: “This channel is currently unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”
The Lower Silesian Inspectorate for Animal Protection has confirmed it has notified the prosecutor’s office about the incident.
A spokesman told Polsat News: “We decided to notify the prosecutor’s office in this case.
“The first issue that is beyond doubt is that dogs should not run free.
“However, since they were already running, then: [she] should [have] stopped and reacted.
“It’s empathy and social duty.”
In Poland, drivers are banned from using hand-held phones while driving.
Twitch has not confirmed why Sidneuke’s account has been suspended or whether the ban is permanent.
A spokesman for the platform told The Sun it doesn’t “comment on individual enforcement action”.
Guidelines on Twitch’s website, however, state that it prohibits “dangerous or distracted driving, including using a phone while driving and drunk driving.”
