NEW YORK — A notable automotive social media personality lost his life during a high-speed crash involving his BMW close to John F. Kennedy Airport, according to police reports.

Andre Beadle, aged 25, was involved in the tragic incident shortly after 1 a.m. on Wednesday on the Nassau Expressway. Authorities from the NYPD confirmed that Beadle was ejected from the vehicle in front of a small gathering of shocked onlookers.

Residing in the Bronx, Beadle was recognized online under the name 1Stockf30, boasting a following of approximately 240,000 on Instagram and around 59,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Forever a legend.” However, some commentators voiced criticism, pointing out the risks associated with his actions and the need for better safety measures in car racing.
