A tragic incident occurred early Wednesday morning on the Nassau Expressway in Queens, New York, as 25-year-old influencer and YouTuber Andre Beadle, known online as 1Stockf30, lost his life in a car crash. The young drag-racing enthusiast was driving eastbound in a 2023 BMW at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the vehicle, veering off the road and colliding with a metal pole.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene around 1:12 am and rushed Beadle to Jamaica Hospital Medical Centre, where he was pronounced dead. The Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad is currently looking into the circumstances surrounding the tragic accident.
Beadle, who had a substantial following of 59,500 YouTube subscribers and nearly 250,000 Instagram followers, was well-known for his content on street racing and high-performance cars. In one of his recent videos, titled “I’m bringing the M240 back to the streets + Trackhawk vs 1Stock Corvette $10,000 race,” he showcased his BMW as he prepared for an upcoming race.
Despite his passion for street racing, Beadle often included disclaimers in his videos, urging viewers to follow the road code and drive with care. In a previous video, he even mentioned a past crash where he reached speeds of 170 mph in his BMW.
In honor of Beadle, fans and supporters have been invited to gather at Haffen Park on Friday, November 8, at 4:30 pm for a balloon release ceremony. A post on Beadle’s Instagram encouraged attendees to bring balloons and celebrate the life of the young legend and trendsetter, describing him as someone driven by passion and fueled by the thrill of the race.
The untimely passing of Andre Beadle has left a void in the drag-racing community, with many mourning the loss of a talented and passionate individual. May he find peace and the ultimate track among the stars.
