YouTube star Andre Beadle is dead after a fatal car crash in New York City. He was 25.

In a statement to PEOPLE, the New York Police Department said they responded to a call of a vehicle crash involving Beadle on the Nassau Expressway in Queens on Wednesday, November 6 at approximately 1:12 a.m.

When they arrived on the scene, NYPD Highway District's Collision Investigation Squad determined that Beadle had been "traveling eastbound" on the highway in the left lane "at a high rate of speed" before he "lost control" of his 2023 BMW sedan.
