Shanahan Hurt in Mid-July Car Accident

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan suffered significant injuries in a car accident during his summer break in mid-July, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Nick Wagoner. Shanahan broke his nose, three ribs, and his hand, and needed over 40 stitches in his face.

Paramedics took Shanahan to a local hospital, where he spent much of the day before being released. The other driver was not injured, per Palo Alto lieutenant Nicholas Martinez, who also confirmed that drugs and alcohol were not involved and that both drivers were cooperative.
