Andre Beadle, a popular YouTube star known for his car-related content, tragically passed away on Nov. 6 after crashing his car at high speed in Queens, New York. He was 25 years old.
According to the New York Police Department (NYPD), officers responded to a call about a vehicle accident involving Beadle at approximately 1:12 a.m. on the Nassau Expressway. The NYPD’s Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that Beadle had been driving eastbound in the left lane of the highway when he lost control of his 2023 BMW sedan.
The vehicle veered off the road, crashing into a metal pole on the right shoulder, causing it to swing back across the highway. Tragically, Beadle was ejected from the vehicle. EMS crews arrived quickly on the scene and rushed him to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.
At the time of the crash, Beadle had been driving at a high rate of speed. In the weeks leading up to the tragic accident, Beadle had posted videos and photos of himself with the BMW, showing off the car and even sharing videos of himself pushing the car to impressive speeds. One of his videos highlighted his ability to accelerate the car from 60 mph to 130 mph in just a few seconds, a speed he regularly showcased in his online content.
Beadle’s social media following had been steadily growing, with over 59,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, where he posted videos about his cars, modifications, and driving experiences. He had a significant presence on Instagram as well, often posting photos of his car and himself in various settings.
His sudden death has left fans and family in mourning. Shortly after the announcement of his passing, Beadle’s family posted a tribute on his social media accounts, confirming funeral arrangements for Friday, Nov. 8, at Haffen Park in the Bronx, New York, the area where Beadle grew up.
