Get all the details of Justin’s grandparents’ terrifying accident in which their car flipped in the snow and was totalled.
Justin Bieber‘s grandparents Bruce and Diane Dale are safe at home now after they were in a terrible accident in which their car flipped, hit a tree and got totalled, Kees Wijnands, Media Relations Officer for Perth County Ontario’s Provincial Police Department, tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
It happened at around “1:00 in the afternoon [on Dec. 27] in the Township of Perth East” near where Bruce and Diane live in Stratford, Canada, the officer tells us. “They were down one of the concession roads. It’s paved. They were heading east bound on that road. It was slushy snow. They got caught in the slush and it sucked them into the ditch. As a result, the vehicle, a small SUV rolled. They weren’t going very fast. They got in the ditch and rolled. The vehicle hit some trees and shrubbery. It rolled and landed back on its wheels.”
“The airbags deployed,” continues the officer. “They were seat belted in. Bruce was driving. Bruce was taken to Stratford General Hospital with minor injuries as a precaution. Diane was OK.”
Thankfully, Bruce turned out to be fine. “He was treated and released,” shares the officer. ”They are happy at home again.”
The cause of the accident was the slushy snow. “We haven’t had a lot of snow yet,” describes the officer. “This was the first actual snow of the winter. We had a lot more snow after the collision. This was the slush stage and it was just freezing up. There was a couple inches on the ground. It was around the freezing mark yesterday.”
HollywoodLife.com is happy that everyone is safe and sound.

Since they mentioned that the airbags were deployed, I wasn’t aware Justin and Selena were in the car with them. I’ll bet Granny must have had her hand on Grandpa’s stick shift, which caused him to be distracted. He may have also been blinded by the indoor light shining off his bald head. Selena, there is the future, but just imagine Grandpa with the gut at 5’7″s. By the looks of the two grandparents, this picture must have been taken right after the accident…oh! They actually look that bad…Sorry…anyway, I’m glad they are alright, so Bieber and Gomez can still have the opportunity to visit them in the senior citizen home in a few years. Yuk! Yuk!
