YouTube star Andre Beadle has tragically died after being involved in a horror crash on an expressway in Queens.
The 25-year-old car influencer, who is better known as 1Stockf30, had been driving a “tricked-out” BMW when he was tragically killed in a high-speed crash in front of horrified witnesses.
According to reports by the New York Post, Beadle had been driving at a “high rate of speed” east on the Nassau Expressway near JFK Airport at around 1AM on Wednesday morning when he lost control and crashed into a light post, the New York Police Department told the outlet.
Beadle had reportedly been racing in the left lane before suddenly swerving across the road onto the right shoulder and striking the metal pole.

The influencer, who has over 233,000 followers on Instagram and 58,700 subscribers on YouTube, was reportedly thrown out of the 2023 purple BMW M240 he’d been traveling in.
He was rushed to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center by first responders where he was pronounced dead, the police confirmed.
The horrifying moment Beadle lost control of the car and ran off the road was captured on camera by onlookers, who shared the harrowing footage on social media.
Bystanders were also seen rushing to the car, which had been destroyed in the crash.
The NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad is currently investigating the circumstances of the crash, and police officers were seen at the site.
They were seen inspecting the debris, including a tire, underneath an overpass as traffic in the area remained backlogged as a result.
Beadle, who shared car content on social media and YouTube, had shared videos bragging about the speeds his vehicle could reach just weeks before his death.
The 25-year-old shared a video on Instagram showing his car going from 60 to 100 mph in 3.08 seconds before reaching 100 to 150 mph in an additional 2.97 seconds, captioning the post: “It’s just a BMW.”
Just hours before his death, Beadle had shared a video on YouTube of him and his friends working on the car in a car shop.
The video had an eerie ending as the BMW he crashed in was filmed driving west on the Nassau Expressway, heading towards the location where he ultimately died.
A celebration of life will be held in Beadle’s honor on November 8 at 4:30PM in Haffen Park in the Bronx.
Our thoughts remain with Beadle’s family, friends, and followers at this heartbreaking time.
