American YouTuber Andre Beadle, known as “1Stockf30,” tragically lost his life in a high-speed accident on the Nassau Expressway in Queens earlier this week.
According to the NYPD, the 25-year-old Bronx-based street racing influencer was racing his car in the early hours of Wednesday when he lost control. His vehicle veered off the road and struck a metal pole, with the impact so severe it ejected him from the car. Beadle was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.
Footage shared on social media captured the tragic aftermath, showing bystanders rushing to the crash site. Investigators found debris scattered across the road, which led to significant traffic delays as they worked to reconstruct the events leading to the crash.
Just two weeks before, Beadle had shared a video of his car accelerating from 60 to 100 mph in just over three seconds, captioned, “It’s just a BMW.”
On the day of the accident, he posted a YouTube video showcasing recent modifications to his car. His final drive, recorded shortly before the crash, showed the car traveling westbound on the Nassau Expressway near the accident site.
Following news of his death, fans expressed their grief on social media. One wrote, “The car scene lost a young King,” reflecting Beadle’s positive impact on the community and his role in boosting New York City’s car culture. Another fan commented, “The world will miss you, brother. You made a big impact.”
