Queens, NY — Andre Beadle, a popular car influencer known to fans as 1Stockf30, has tragically passed away at the age of 25 following a horrific crash during a reported street race. The accident took place early Wednesday on the Nassau Expressway near JFK Airport, leaving fans, family, and friends devastated.
According to the NYPD, Beadle was driving his customized 2023 purple BMW M240 at a “high rate of speed” in the left lane when he suddenly swerved, losing control and crashing into a metal light post on the expressway’s shoulder. Witnesses reported that the crash occurred around 1 a.m., and some captured the incident on video, later sharing it on social media.
Beadle was reportedly ejected from his vehicle upon impact. First responders rushed him to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
A rising star in the online car community, Beadle had amassed a large following, with over 233,000 Instagram followers and nearly 59,000 subscribers on YouTube. His content often showcased his love of high-speed cars and street racing, with videos in recent weeks demonstrating the powerful acceleration of his BMW. Just days before the accident, he posted a video showing his car accelerating from 60 to 100 mph in a mere 3.08 seconds, followed by a rapid surge from 100 to 150 mph in just under three seconds.
In a haunting coincidence, Beadle’s final YouTube video showed him working on his BMW at a local shop with friends, wrapping up with footage of the car driving west on the same road where the fatal crash would soon occur.
The NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad is currently examining the accident scene to determine the full circumstances surrounding the crash. Officers were seen inspecting debris from the impact, including scattered car parts under an overpass, as traffic was backed up for hours due to the accident.
Beadle’s sudden death has left the online car community in shock, with tributes pouring in from fans and fellow influencers alike. A celebration of his life is scheduled to take place on November 8 at Haffen Park in the Bronx, where fans and loved ones will gather to honor his memory.
