San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shananhan was involved in a serious car wreck last week, the team announced on Saturday.
Shanahan broke his nose, three ribs, his hand, needed over 40 stitches in his face and suffered a severe concussion in the accident, according to ESPN. The incident happened on July 14 when the 45-year-old coach collided with another SUV by his home in northern California, according to the report.
“San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan was involved in a car accident last week where he suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Coach Shanahan will participate in team activities on a limited basis at the start of training camp while he recovers. Coach Shanahan and the 49ers organization would like to sincerely thank all first responders involved for their efforts and care,” the 49ers said in a statement.
“Assistant Head Coach Chris Foerster along with team coordinators will handle head coach responsibilities during this period.”
Palo Alto lieutenant Nicholas Martinez told ESPN that the other driver was not injured and that drugs or alcohol were not involved. Shanahan was taken to the hospital by local paramedics after the wreck and was released after spending much of the day there.
“Consistent with our standard release of information procedures in such cases, we do not release information regarding the cause of the collision, or which party may have been at fault,” Martinez told ESPN.
He told the outlet that no one was cited for the collision.
The 49ers’ training camp starts on Sunday, but Shanahan will not be allowed to participate until he is cleared by doctors. The longtime coach told his assistant coaches about the accident on Tuesday, according to the report.
Shanahan is entering his 10th season as the 49ers head coach and is widely considered one of the best coaches in the NFL. Over nine seasons, he has an 82-67 record and has led the team to the Super Bowl twice.
Shanahan is believed to be recovering well and healing at home, according to the report. The 49ers’ first game of the season is against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 10 in Melbourne, Australia.
