New York YouTuber Andre Beadle died in a BMW accident on the Queens Nassau Expressway

A New York-based car influencer and YouTuber died Wednesday morning when he crashed his rigged BMW while street racing on a Queens highway in front of horrified witnesses.

Bronx native Andre Beadle, known on social media as “1Stockf30,” was driving east on the Nassau Expressway near JFK Airport at a “high rate of speed” just after 1 a.m. when he lost control and crashed into one light pole struck, the NYPD told The Post.

Beadle, 25, was speeding in the left lane and flying across the road when he suddenly crossed the road into the right shoulder and crashed into the metal bar.

The influencer, who has more than 233,000 Instagram followers, was thrown out of his purple 2023 BMW M240.

First responders took Beadle to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

A video posted on social media captured the moment Beadle lost control and veered off the road as horrified passers-by ran to the wrecked car.

Police officers were seen at the scene inspecting debris, including a tire, under an overpass as traffic remained at a snail’s pace following the accident, as detailed in a video on CitizenApp.

Beadle, who has 58,700 subscribers on YouTube, boasted about the hair-raising speeds his car could reach just two weeks before his death.

The car accelerated from 60 to 100 mph in 3.08 seconds before reaching 100 to 150 mph in another 2.97 seconds, a video posted to its Instagram showed.

“It’s just a BMW,” the post was captioned.

Hours before his death, Beadle posted a video on YouTube of himself and his friends working on the now-destroyed vehicle in the auto repair shop

His final video had a eerie ending as the BMW was recorded driving west on the Nassau Expressway toward the spot where it eventually crashed.

Fans took to social media to pay tribute to the daredevil.

“The car scene has lost a young king. They put NYC back on the map in a positive perspective. You have shown our scene the respect it deserves. Not only known for idiotic takeovers. You have gained the respect of many and that will live on as your legacy. Be calm, we will never forget you,” one comment said.

“I still can’t believe this man, the world will miss you bro, you made a big impression, peace,” wrote another.

“This man had so much to share with the world. We have lost a legend,” read a third.
