New York Car Influencer Andre Beadle Killed in Street Race Crash
Tragedy struck early Wednesday morning when popular New York-based car influencer Andre Beadle, known by his social media handle “1Stockf30,” lost his life in a high-speed crash on the Nassau Expressway near JFK Airport.
Beadle, 25, was behind the wheel of his modified 2023 BMW M240, reportedly racing down the expressway at a high rate of speed. According to the NYPD, Beadle was in the left lane when he suddenly swerved, lost control, and crashed into a light post. The impact was severe, and Beadle was ejected from the vehicle as it came to a stop.
Beadle’s death has sent shockwaves through the car enthusiast and influencer communities, where he had earned significant fame for showcasing his modified vehicles and thrilling driving feats.
With over 233,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 59,000 subscribers on YouTube, Beadle had a strong presence online, often posting videos that highlighted the impressive speeds his cars could reach. Just weeks before the fatal crash, Beadle posted videos bragging about the performance of his BMW M240, a car designed for speed and high-performance driving.
Tragically, it was during a similar high-speed drive that his life was cut short.
Witnesses to the crash described a chaotic scene as the BMW sped down the road before the driver lost control. Video footage posted on social media shows the moment Beadle’s car veered off the road and collided with a metal pole.
Horrified onlookers rushed to the wreckage, but the crash left Beadle with fatal injuries. First responders arrived at the scene and rushed him to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
The crash not only devastated Beadle’s followers but also highlighted the dangers of street racing. Despite his popularity as a car influencer, the tragic accident underscores the risks involved in pushing vehicles to their limits on public roads.
