Shanahan Takes Full Blame for Crash | San Francisco News

San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan is speaking out after a violent car crash that left him with multiple fractures, a concussion, and a gash above his eye requiring 40 stitches — injuries so severe he nearly lost his eye. He admits he was distracted, reaching for his phone, when he swerved into another vehicle. Shanahan took full responsibility, correcting earlier reports that wrongly blamed the other driver for an unsafe turn — a clerical error the Palo Alto Police have since acknowledged. He expressed remorse for the confusion and emphasized his belief in people’s goodness, calling this a personal matter he needed to address directly. Still recovering from concussion symptoms, Shanahan is using the ordeal as a stark warning about the dangers of distracted driving — and he’s grateful he survived with no one else seriously hurt.
