The street racing community in Jamaica and New York is mourning the death of 1Stockf30, real name Andre Beadle, and commonly called Dre.
The YouTuber and street racer was killed in a early morning crash last Wednesday (November 6) when his modified BMW M240i careened off the road and struck a light pole on the Nassau Expressway near John F. Kennedy International Airport. According to police, Dre was thrown from the vehicle and was likely killed on impact.
A video shared on social media showed several eye witnesses watching in horror as the crash unfolded around 1 a.m. on Wednesday. Some folks could be heard saying that he was pronounced dead on the scene of the crash.
Dre, popularly known as 1Stockf30, is an associate of Jamaican car enthusiasts and vloggers, Nick Skvnk Lue and Sasha Chevolleau. Dre was himself a vlogger who frequently posted videos on his popular YouTube channels of drag races in his tuned M240i. He is reportedly the head of the 1Stock street race gang based in New York.
1Stockf30 supporters have been paying tribute on social media following his death. Motorsports Kenya wrote, “The car community has lost an inspiration, a true enthusiast who touched so many lives. My deepest condolences go out to their family and friends.”
