Tragically, Andre Beadle, known to many as 1Stockf30, has died at the tender age of 25 following a catastrophic car crash where his 2024 BMW X5 collided with an Acura and overturned. The well-known YouTuber perished in the Queens, New York accident this Tuesday, which occurred during a street race and was witnessed by an aghast crowd.
While he lost his life, the 21-year-old passenger in the car survived with injuries, reports the Mirror.
Hailing from the Bronx and owning the pseudonym 1Stockf30, Beadle had amassed a large following online by uploading videos of himself achieving great speeds in his distinctive purple BMW. In light of Beadle’s untimely demise, an announcement was shared on his Instagram regarding a balloon release memorial slated for Haffen Park in the Bronx, set for Friday, November 8 at 4:30 pm EST.
The heartfelt post announces, “Driven by passion, fuelled by the thrill, may you find the ultimate track among the stars.”

The Sun has reported that the fatal moment of Andre’s last journey was chillingly captured on video along the New York City parkway. Footage showed his BMW hurtling away at the onset of the race, before smoke ominously erupted mere seconds into the event.
The video then transitions to the aftermath of the crash, showing flaming wreckage strewn across the road. The BMW had veered sharply right before losing control and smashing into a lamppost, according to the New York Daily News.
The driver was ejected through his windscreen during the collision and was discovered on the ground by emergency services. This incident occurred just hours after he uploaded a video on his YouTube channel where he is seen prepping his car for a race, saying “Late at night we getting ready,” while joking with his friends.
The New York Police Department issued a statement about the accident, confirming that an investigation by the NYPD Highway District Collision Investigation Squad is underway. The statement reads: “On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at approximately 2313 hours, police responded to a 911 call of a vehicle collision on the Belt Parkway between Cross Bay Boulevard and Erskine Street, within the confines of the 106 Precinct.”
It further states: “A preliminary investigation by the NYPD Highway District Collision Investigation Squad determined a 2024 BMW X5 operated by a 25 year old male was traveling eastbound on the Belt Parkway when he collided with an Acura operated by a 21 year old male.”
“EMS responded and transported the 25 year old male to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased. The front seat passenger of the BMW, a 21 year old male, was transported by EMS to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in stable condition.”
