Yet another car YouTuber has died after a single-vehicle accident, this time in New York. Andre Beadle, better known as 1Stockf30 on social media, crashed his BMW M240i into a light pole near John F. Kennedy airport. He was well known as a street racer, so not everyone is expressing sympathy for his passing.
YouTubers document daily driving their current project car.
With over 60,000 subscribers on YouTube and over 250,000 on Instagram, he had quite the following. It seems many enjoyed his antics online, which of course included racing around in his modified Bimmer.
A report from the Associated Press states Beadle died on November 6 just after 1 am on the Nassau Expressway while allegedly speeding in his M240i. In other words, the man died how he lived, driving fast.
Police are still investigating the crash, so there’s no official word on what caused it or if any charges will be filed against other parties.
Some have posted consoling, heartfelt messages on the 1Stockf30 social media accounts, expressing how much they’ll miss the man and his content. However, others have posted messages preaching to others the dangers of street racing and driving recklessly.
Supposedly, there’s footage of Beadle’s death being shared online. It allegedly shows the man flying out of the BMW and being dismembered. Even if we could find the video, which we don’t really want to see ourselves, it would be far too graphic for us to show, if it truly exists.
On his last video uploaded to YouTube where he talked about getting the BMW M240i back on the street after crashing it back in May, one user told him to “get a cage already” expressing concern that Beadle might crash and it “could be worse” than the previous time. That seems almost prophetic considering what happened.
Perhaps an even better idea would’ve been to not engage in street racing. We know some just can’t help themselves until they either kill themselves or someone else. It’s a sad reality we wish didn’t exist.
