Overview
- The crash occurred on July 14 when Shanahan’s vehicle collided with an SUV near his Northern California home and he was taken to a local hospital before being released the same day.
- Reports say Shanahan suffered a severe concussion plus a broken nose, three broken ribs, a broken hand and facial lacerations that required more than 40 stitches.
- Palo Alto police said no drugs or alcohol were involved, the other driver was uninjured and no citations were issued after officers and paramedics responded to the scene.
- The 49ers announced Shanahan will participate in training-camp activities on a limited basis while assistant head coach Chris Foerster and the team coordinators handle day-to-day head-coaching duties.
- General manager John Lynch said Shanahan is undergoing the same concussion protocol used for players and the team expects him to return before the regular-season opener if doctors clear him, making his medical progress the key factor to watch.
