SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan took the blame for the car crash that left him with a concussion and other injuries, saying he took his eyes off the road to reach for his fallen cell phone before hitting another vehicle.
Shanahan was briefly hospitalized following the crash and hasn't been able to coach the team at the start of training camp.
Shanahan spoke to a small group of reporters on Tuesday for the first time since the crash to explain what happened from his vantage point and to make clear the crash was his fault.
Shanahan has come out for portions of the first two practices to watch alongside general manager John Lynch.
Shanahan is entering his 10th season as 49ers coach and is one of the most highly regarded coaches in the game for his offensive acumen.
