YouTube Star Andre Beadle Dies in Tragic Car Crash

Fans and the online community are mourning the loss of Andre Beadle, a popular YouTuber known for his love of fast cars and thrilling content. Beadle, 25, tragically died in a car accident on New York’s Nassau Expressway in Queens early Wednesday morning (Nov. 6).

According to NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad, officers arrived at the crash scene at approximately 1:12 a.m. Beadle was reportedly driving his 2023 BMW sedan at high speed when he lost control.

Police said the vehicle veered off the right side of the highway, striking a metal pole, which caused the car to swerve back across the lanes. Beadle was ejected from the vehicle upon impact.

Emergency responders transported him to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

The crash, which appears to have been influenced by speed—a defining element of Beadle’s lifestyle as a car enthusiast—occurred just days after he shared videos with his 59,000 YouTube subscribers and Instagram followers, showcasing his new BMW.

In his last video, he was seen testing the car’s limits on a New York highway, hitting speeds between 60 and 150 mph.

Beadle’s family has organized a memorial in his hometown of the Bronx, set for today (Nov. 8) at Haffen Park, where fans and loved ones are invited to bring balloons and celebrate his life. The memorial flyer describes Beadle as a “young legend and trendsetter.”

Messages of condolence and admiration flooded social media, with fans honoring Beadle’s legacy. “RIP Dre” and “Rest easy, idol” echoed across his channels, while one fan wrote, “The biggest loss since Paul Walker, the streets’ favorite.” Another reflected, “[I don’t] even wanna be racing no moe #longlivedre.”
