The Sun reported that Andre’s last, ill-fated drive was filmed, showing his BMW speeding away at the beginning of the race before smoke appeared moments later.
The video then transitions to the aftermath of the crash, showing flaming wreckage strewn across the road. The BMW veered sharply right after losing control and smashed into a lamppost, according to the New York Daily News.
The driver was ejected through his windshield during the collision and was discovered on the pavement by first responders. This incident occurred just hours after he uploaded a video on his YouTube channel where he is seen prepping his car for a race, saying “Late at night we getting ready,” while joking with his friends.
The New York Police Department issued a statement about the accident, confirming that an investigation is currently underway by the NYPD Highway District Collision Investigation Squad. The statement reads: “On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at approximately 2313 hours, police responded to a 911 call of a vehicle collision on the Belt Parkway between Cross Bay Boulevard and Erskine Street, within the confines of the 106 Precinct.”
It further states: “A preliminary investigation by the NYPD Highway District Collision Investigation Squad determined a 2024 BMW X5 operated by a 25-year-old male was traveling eastbound on the Belt Parkway when he collided with an Acura operated by a 21-year-old male.
“EMS responded and transported the 25-year-old male to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased. The front seat passenger of the BMW, a 21-year-old male, was transported by EMS to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in stable condition.”
