Shanahan’s Tesla Model S crashed into the other driver’s SUV.The Niners’ coach gave his account of what went wrong and clarified that he was the one at fault. The CHP database had a clerical error blaming the other driver, but Shanahan set the record straight.“I hit her,” Shanahan told the press. “I don’t know why it was reported that way [on the collision report database]. The police report doesn’t say that.“I was going 20 miles an hour,” Shanahan said. “I was not on my phone, but I dropped my phone and it was stuck in my seats. It’s on my lap and it slid off.“And I went down to look for it and took my eyes off the road for two seconds… I took my eyes off the road looking for my phone, and my car veered into someone.”The entire ordeal seems to have been a harrowing one for the 49ers coach, who has been with the team in a limited capacity since. Hopefully, both involved parties will recover from the ordeal quickly.Read more:Brandon Aiyuk aims real low blow at 49ers head coach Kyle Shannahan after brutal car crash49ers provide new Kyle Shanahan health update and recovery timeline after car accidentHow Roger Goodell reacted to 49ers head coach questioning playing NFL games in Australia
