A YouTuber has tragically lost his life following a severe car accident in Queens, New York.
Andre Beadle, aged 25, encountered the crash on the Nassau Expressway during the early hours of Wednesday morning (November 6). According to the police, he ‘lost control’ of the vehicle.
Beadle, who gained online recognition as ‘1Stockf30,’ was driving his 2023 BMW Sedan at ‘a high rate of speed.’ The New York Police Department (NYPD) reported that he veered ‘off the right side of the roadway into the right shoulder’ and collided with a pole.
“This caused the vehicle to veer back across the eastbound lanes to the left shoulder, ejecting the operator from the vehicle,” the department noted.
After being ejected from the vehicle, Beadle was rushed to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries.
There was also a 21-year-old passenger in the car who sustained injuries but survived the accident.
“He loved cars. He talked about cars every day. That’s what he do: Cars, cars, cars,” Beadle’s mother, Everith McCray, expressed to CBS.
“I didn’t know he had so many friends until yesterday, when he passed. He has a lot of friends. People been coming, coming, going.
“… Can’t bring him back.”
Additionally, Beadle’s brother, Alicio Beadle, mentioned: “He crash on a track a couple months ago, and then it was a pretty bad accident, too. But the barriers and all that, he had a helmet and all that, saved him. But this one, just, I don’t know.
“That’s what he really loved. I know it’s a tragedy, but that’s what he loved doing.
“Leave the street racing alone. Stick to track. Be more careful.”
Before the accident, Beadle had uploaded a video on social media showcasing the BMW being worked on, followed by a final clip of him driving the car at night close to the crash site, as reported by People.
A tribute was posted on Beadle’s Instagram in memory of the 25-year-old.
“Driven by passion, fueled by the thrill, may you find the ultimate track among the stars,” it read, with the caption also stating: “Bring some balloons and come celebrate life with the young legend and trendsetter #1stockf30.”
In the comments, people paid their respects to Beadle, with one individual writing: “Rest in peace Young Legend Street King.”
Another reflected: “You are my idol brother, I wouldn’t be who I am in racing without you.”
A third person said: “You will be missed, the streets will forever remember you.”
The NYPD is continuing to investigate the incident.
