Days before his death, he showed his BMW going from 60 to 150 mph with ease on a highway.
Fans are mourning the tragic passing of YouTube sensation Andre Beadle.
Known for his thrilling content and love for fast cars, the 25-year-old sadly died after a fatal car crash on New York’s Nassau Expressway in Queens on Wednesday (Nov. 6).
According to CBS News, NYPD stated that their Collision Investigation Squad arrived on the scene around 1:12 a.m. Upon arrival, the squad determined that Beadle—allegedly speeding in his 2023 BMW sedan—lost control while riding down the highway. Officers added that he then “veered to the right” and traveled “off the right side of the roadway into the right shoulder” before striking “a metal pole.”
“This caused the vehicle to veer back across the eastbound lanes to the left shoulder, ejecting the operator from the vehicle,” the police stated.
Emergency medical responders rushed him to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where Beadle was later pronounced dead.
As the investigation is ongoing, speed was clearly a factor—ironically something that his lifestyle embodied as a car enthusiast.
In the weeks leading up to the tragic event, Beadle had been sharing every moment with his 59,000 YouTube subscribers and fans on Instagram. Just days before his untimely death, he dropped a video showing off his new BMW at a shop and later speeding down a New York highway—hitting speeds between 60 and 150 mph with ease.
For Beadle, speed gave him a thrill, and he garnered a huge fanbase for exactly that.
Beadle’s family has since announced plans for a memorial in his hometown of the Bronx for today (Nov. 8) at Haffen Park.
“Bring some balloons and come celebrate life with the young legend and trendsetter #1stockf30,” the memorial flyer suggests.
Fans poured their hearts out in the comments, with messages like “RIP Dre” and “Rest easy, idol.” One fan shared, “The biggest loss since Paul Walker the streets favourite.”
Another person shared a revelation, writing, “[I don’t] even wanna be racing no moe #longlivedre.”
VIBE sends condolences to Andre Beadle‘s loved ones and supporters.
