YouTube personality Andre Beadle has tragically passed away following a car accident in New York. According to a statement from the New York Police Department (NYPD), officers responded to a crash involving the 25-year-old on the Nassau Expressway in Queens on Wednesday, Nov. 6, around 1:12 a.m.
Upon investigation, the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad found that Beadle had been driving eastbound in the left lane at high speed in his 2023 BMW sedan when he lost control. His vehicle swerved to the right, left the roadway, and struck a metal pole on the shoulder, NYPD reported.

The impact sent the car back across the eastbound lanes, veering into the left shoulder and ejecting Beadle from the vehicle. Emergency medical services arrived promptly and transported him to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The NYPD confirmed that their Collision Investigation Squad is still looking into the details surrounding the incident. Before his untimely death, Beadle, who had over 59,000 YouTube subscribers, shared content about his BMW, including videos of the car being serviced and nighttime drives with friends near the crash site.
In the weeks before the accident, he posted on Instagram, posing with his car and sharing videos demonstrating its speed, showing it accelerating from 60 to 130 mph in roughly three seconds. Following news of his death, Beadle’s family announced on his social media that a funeral service would be held on Friday, Nov. 8, at Haffen Park in the Bronx, where he grew up.
In the announcement, his family described him as “driven by passion” and “fueled by the thrill,” adding, “May you find the track among the stars.” Heartfelt tributes poured in from his fans, with messages like “rest easy” and “RIP king.”
One fan expressed, “You are my idol, brother; I wouldn’t be who I am in racing without you.” Another wrote, “Praying for your family. God only knows what they’re going through. Thank you for leaving an imprint on the NYC scene.”
