Mar. 15, 2025YouTube star Andre Beadle has died after crashing his car in New York.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) told PEOPLE in a statement that officers responded to a call of a vehicle crash involving Beadle, 25, on the Nassau Expressway in Queens on Wednesday, Nov. 6 at approximately 1:12 a.m.
After arriving on the scene, the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that Beadle had been “traveling eastbound” on the highway in the left lane “at a high rate of speed” before he “lost control” of his 2023 BMW sedan. He then “veered to the right” and traveled “off the right side of the roadway into the right shoulder” and struck “a metal pole,” the NYPD added.
“This caused the vehicle to veer back across the eastbound lanes to the left shoulder, ejecting the operator from the vehicle,” the police said in its statement.
