49ers Kyle Shanahan suffers horrific injuries in car crash near California home

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan suffered horrific injuries — including a severe concussion — in a car crash near his Northern California last week.

Shanahan’s vehicle collided with an SUV on July 14, leaving the coach with a broken nose, three broken ribs and a broken hand, according to ESPN. He also had to get 40 stitches in his face.

Shanahan was rushed to the hospital for treatment before being released later in the day, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The other driver was uninjured.

Police said drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the crash.

“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,” Palo Alto lieutenant Nicholas Martinez said in a statement to ESPN.

Shanahan is expected to limited as the team opens training camp on Sunday, according to the team.

“Coach Shanahan will participate in team activities on a limited basis at the start of training camp while he recovers,” the 49ers said in a statement. “Coach Shanahan and the 49ers organization would like to sincerely thank all first responders involved for their efforts and care.

The team added that Assistant Head Coach Chris Foerster and 49ers coordinators will step in to handle head coaching duties.

Shanahan only informed his fellow coaches of the wreck on Tuesday, ESPN reported.

He is entering his 10th season as head coach of the 49ers.
