A photo of Kathy’s banged up, fiery convertible, taken on site of the accident, was shared to the group. The post seemingly came from a page administrator seeking information from anyone in the community who could identify whom the vehicle belonged to, TMZ reports.
A guy named Brandan Steven, who also appears to be related to Justin, responded, claiming he was involved in the accident with Kathy. He confirmed that Kathy is the owner of the classic red car, noting that they were both inside the convertible at the time of the accident.

Steven added that it “wasn’t good,” explaining that he had to “pull my grandmother out of [the] car.”
“Could have been very bad if we were in there for even another 5 seconds as the doors were binded shut,” he said.
Kathy is married to George Bieber, Justin’s dad Jeremy’s biological father. Kathy is Jeremy’s stepmother, therefore she is, technically speaking, Justin’s step-grandmother.
