A 25-year-old influencer and YouTuber, known for his high-speed drag-racing videos, tragically died in a car crash early Wednesday morning in Queens, New York. Andre Beadle, who went by the name 1Stockf30 online, was reportedly driving eastbound on the Nassau Expressway at a high rate of speed in a 2023 BMW when the accident occurred. New York police confirmed that Beadle lost control of the vehicle, veering to the right and crashing into a metal pole after going off the road. 

The incident happened around 1:12 AM, and emergency responders quickly arrived on the scene. Beadle was transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Centre, where he was pronounced dead. The collision was serious enough to trigger an investigation by the Highway District's Collision Investigation Squad, which is continuing to examine the cause of the crash.

Beadle, with over 59,500 subscribers on YouTube and nearly 250,000 followers on Instagram, was known for sharing street racing content, often featuring his high-performance BMW and other cars. In his videos, he documented his passion for racing and the thrill of driving, as well as the technical aspects of his vehicles. One such video, titled “I'm bringing the M240 back to the streets + Trackhawk vs 1Stock Corvette $10,000 race,” showed him taking his BMW to be serviced ahead of an upcoming race.

Despite the high-risk nature of his content, some of Beadle's videos included disclaimers urging viewers to follow traffic laws and drive responsibly. This was particularly poignant, as earlier this year, Beadle had revealed in a video that he previously crashed his BMW while driving at 170 mph.

Fans and followers of Beadle have been invited to gather in his honor at Haffen Park on Friday, November 8, at 4:30 PM for a balloon release. A post shared to his Instagram encouraged fans to celebrate his life, describing him as "driven by passion" and "fueled by the thrill." The tribute further stated, “May you find the ultimate track among the stars,” reflecting the loss of a beloved figure in the racing community.

The death of Andre Beadle has deeply impacted his fans and peers, with many expressing their condolences and admiration for his fearless approach to street racing and his influence in the automotive community.
