Queens, NY (November 7, 2024) – A tragic accident occurred early Wednesday morning on the Nassau Expressway, resulting in the death of a 25-year-old driver. At approximately 1:12 a.m., police responded to a 911 call reporting a vehicle collision near Hangar Road in Springfield Gardens.
According to the NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad, the driver, identified as Andre Beadle of the Bronx, was operating a 2023 BMW sedan eastbound in the left lane at a high rate of speed just before the crash. Preliminary investigations suggest that Beadle lost control of the vehicle, veering to the right and off the roadway. The BMW struck a metal pole on the right shoulder, which caused it to rebound back across the eastbound lanes, ultimately ejecting Beadle from the vehicle.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived on the scene and transported Beadle to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash is ongoing.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Andre Beadle during this difficult time.
