Sounds like he was returning from his chiropractor appt.
Paraphrased here:
"I think when you get down into it, this is where having goodwill, treating people the right way, being successful, yeah, being powerful as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, but being a guy that everybody in the community likes and knows, and that's where Kyle is gifted and cool," Simms said.
He also noted that Shanahan was reportedly returning from a chiropractic appointment and was close to the 49ers' facility when the accident occurred. Because NFL teams often have established relationships with local police officers and first responders around stadiums, Simms said those connections may have helped explain why details of the crash remained private."

If he's at fault, I wonder if he was districted looking at this phone. But there is nothing out there that indicates any sort of fault. Whatever occurred, it doesn't sound like anything nefarious occurred.
Alma street is an hour away from the 49ers facility.
The Palo Alto police are not the local police and don't have jurisdiction anywhere near the stadium or practice facility.
Where do you live?

#49ers coach Kyle Shanahan just spent some time describing the events of July 14. He wanted to clarify right up front that the accident was his fault. He took eyes off the road briefly to find his phone which fell between seats and when he looked up he had gone over the line and…

It's actually not weird at all. Police reports for auto accidents are commonly filled with errors. It's why they aren't admissible in court.
Kyle Shanahan said that the concussion is what's giving him the most residual trouble. He actually isn't bothered as much by brightness as he is by loud sounds like music blaring at 49ers' practice or multiple people talking at once. But Shanahan did say that he's already made…

Some potential not good reasons for this weirdness..
Kyle initially lied to the officer, but felt the need to be more truthful with the media after the story blew up..
Or Kyle was honest with the officer, but the officer tried to help Kyle Shanahan. But now Kyle is admitting guilt in the front of the media, bringing attention to the department/throwing the officer under the bus.

Not that weird. Police accident reports are often just made up so that the officer can hurry up and get out of there asap.
like are we going to wake up tomorrow and find out that alcohol was involved? Or that the girl WAS hurt? Or there were more parties and they were ALL seriously hurt?Kyle Shanahan just called the beat writers into his office to tell us that he was at fault for his car crash, not the other driver. He swerved into her lane. I have so much respect for Shanahan for setting the record straight. He's a stand up guy.

This story went from completely silent for 11 days to about 25 different versions in 3 days—each one worse than the last.
I really hope this doesn't get even worse or become something bigger

I just don't like this at all. The more time passes by the worse this story gets and the more it contradicts the last iteration.
Kyle Shanahan took fault for the car accident on Alma St. near downtown Palo Alto, which is a 4-lane way without a median (only a double yellow line):
