Bronx-based YouTuber and street racing influencer Andre Beadle, known to his fans as “1Stockf30,” tragically lost his life in a high-speed crash on the Nassau Expressway in Queens early Wednesday morning.

The 25-year-old was racing his 2023 BMW M240 around 1:12 a.m. when he lost control, swerving off the road and crashing into a metal pole, according to the NYPD. The impact was severe enough to eject Beadle from the vehicle, and he was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center shortly afterward.

Video footage circulating on social media captured the chilling scene as horrified bystanders rushed to the wreckage.

Police investigating the site found debris strewn across the roadway, with traffic at a standstill as officers examined the crash’s aftermath. Just two weeks prior, Beadle had shared a post showcasing his BMW’s acceleration from 60 to 100 mph in just over three seconds, captioning it, “It’s just a BMW.”

Earlier on the day of his accident, Beadle posted a YouTube video documenting modifications to the now-totaled car.

His last recorded drive ominously featured the BMW heading westbound on the Nassau Expressway, close to the crash site.

Following his death, fans poured out tributes on social media. “The car scene lost a young King,” one follower wrote. “You put NYC back on the map in a positive perspective... you’ve gained the respect of many.”

Another shared, “The world will miss you, brother. You made a big impact.” A celebration of life for Beadle is scheduled for Nov. 8 at Haffen Park in the Bronx, where loved ones are inviting mourners to bring balloons in his memory.
