Kyle Shanahan admits fault in July Palo Alto crash, suffers injuries

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed he was at fault for a head‑on collision on July 14 in Palo Alto, California. He said he was traveling about 20 mph, dropped his phone, looked away from the road for two seconds and then veered into a 21‑year‑old woman’s vehicle. Shanahan sustained a concussion, broken nose, broken left hand, three broken ribs and more than 40 stitches to a facial gash.

Palo Alto police lieutenant Nicolas Martinez verified Shanahan’s version and noted a clerical error had initially blamed the other driver in a state database. No charges were filed. Because of his injuries, Shanahan has been unable to coach the team at the start of training camp, with assistant head coach Chris Foerster handling his duties while Shanahan continues his recovery.
