The world of YouTube is in shock as Andre Beadle, a popular car enthusiast and racing star, died in a tragic car crash on Wednesday, November 6.

The 25-year-old from New York was driving his 2023 BMW sedan on the Nassau Expressway in Queens when the accident occurred.

High-Speed Crash Claims Young Life

According to the New York Police Department (NYPD), Beadle was traveling eastbound on the highway at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his vehicle. The car veered off the right side of the roadway, striking a metal pole, and then veered back across the eastbound lanes to the left shoulder, ejecting Beadle from the vehicle.

EMS responded to the scene and transported Beadle to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The NYPD’s Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad is still investigating the incident.

A Passion for Speed and Cars

Just weeks before his death, Beadle posted a video on YouTube showing his BMW being worked on at a shop, followed by a showcase of the car to his friends. The final shot of the video showed him driving the vehicle at night, eerily close to the location where the crash occurred.

Beadle’s Instagram account was filled with photos of him posing with his beloved BMW, as well as clips of him driving the car on the highway, demonstrating its incredible speed. The car could go from 0 to 60 mph in about 3 seconds and reach speeds of over 150 mph in just 6 seconds.
