Kyle's story makes more sense than the original one that said the woman crossed the line. If that was true and she had caused an injury accident she would have been cited. I imagine that Kyle wasn't cited because the woman wasn't injured at all and the insurance companies can take care of the damage to the cars.

It did seem weird that both had a head-on collision, but she wasn't injured... in comparison to Kyle who got hurt bad. But then I'm reading a report that she actually was considered injuried when the call first went in. But I'm waiting for more to come out of that, before totally believing it.

He said he was only going 20 mph, that's likely why. Airbags can deploy even at low speed, but definitely if she hit him harder, it'd make sense.

There are too many people immediately screaming conspiracy anytime something happens nowadays... Locked in the pervasive social media mindset of refusing to believe anything can be as basic as it really is.

Can't overthink everything..

Kyle hasn't changed his story. He just told his side of it after eading that it was incorrectly reported that the other driver crossed the center line. This is what happens when the media is in a rush to get he scoop. Every news outlet is struggling for readers or likes. That's how they make money and stay in business. The days of vetting stories before posting them are gone. In rthis case we had an incorrect police report followed by an incorrect media report followed by incorrect posts by us on this website.

Am I correct?

One clarification- the police report was accurate in Kyle being at fault. It was the collision report that had the error of the girl being at fault.

Super shady s**t. 14 days with no news, cops/ or collision report lying on their reports, people/media railroading the chick like it was all her fault, shanny finally admitting it was his fault but saying my phone was on lap and I wasn't using it. Sure dude

Lot of story change ups in like 3 days since we learned of the accident. Tons of b******t. Why this team always gotta do shady s**t? So consistent

There is nothing shady here. Like what are some of you doing here with this logic?

This was an accident. It happens every day all around this country. Do you guys honestly think Kyle is afraid to admit he was at fault in an accident where he was the only one who got injured? Like use your head here…why would he care about that coming out? She was fine. He's got a ton of money so it's not like she's going to sue him out of his house. He's not worried about his insurance premium going up.

So what exactly happened?

First responders and healthcare workers did their job professionally and didn't blab to the media.

49ers decided to let their HC recover and rest after a horrible accident. There was absolutely no reason for them to announce it before they had to.

None of you claiming this was a cover up or fishy in some way can provide one single thing of WHY the team should've released the info earlier other than you wanted them to or so it doesn't look fishy.

There was nothing fishy here. If anything all the fools digging into this instead of just waiting for Kyle to be interviewed about it ran to find all sorts of stuff including the report that had an error in it and made it seem like the woman was at fault.

Kyle didn't have to set the record straight. He still did, once again cuz he's got nothing to fear here. It was an ACCIDENT.

Sure it was incredibly stupid of him to go reaching for his phone while driving. Well he's got a bunch of injuries to show for his stupidity.

But there was nothing fishy here. Nothing nefarious. Just an accident. Move on people.

Hopefully Kyle heals up quick and learns a big lesson from this. Hopefully on his way to winning multiple SBs with us.

Wow stand up dude taking responsibility like that. Maybe it would have come out anyway but who knows. Stand up guy. I have more like for Kyle now. Get better, get us the Six LFG

What's the Big issue ? And why are some Posters getting all up in arms about it. It is a "Private matter". Admitted it was his Fault and He handles it privately End Of Story. On to TC.

My hats are off to Shanny for coming out and not letting someone else to take the blame for his mistake when the out was given to him by the initial police report. That's the mark of an honorable man. Thankfully both drivers are still living. His injuries are punishment enough, so he needs NOBODY'S critique on this. I pray that he gets well soon, and so should everyone else.

Kyle is winning me over, more and more with his personality. I mean how many ppl judging this guy have dropped something in their car and tried to retrieve it? Could be a drink that fell or food.. Honestly, I hate when ppl get all condescending and s**t.

Totally agree with this take. This was an accident caused by a distracted driver (which we all should be reminded of about cell phones and driving). No speeding, drugs, or alcohol were involved. I'd be shocked if the NFL even gets involved in any way beyond well-wishes.

I'm not event that worried about how the organization handled the news of this. There's likely legals involved. The other driver could sue, and so maybe Shanny instructed the organization to be hush about it. But I think that the police report release pushed Shanny to get out front of it and own it to keep an innocent person from being blamed.

I just think that the fans should look at this from the real-world and human aspect of this.

You know why the story is changing? Because we as a society jump to conclusions without letting all the facts come out. We get an ounce of information and spread 10x false information based on what we want to believe.

then we put on our tinfoil hats when the real facts come out and they don't align with what we want to believe. Now we are left talking about a car wreck that happens a thousands times a day like it's some huge conspiracy that Kyle and the 49ers are covering up.

A real man admits his mistakes and honestly, that's kinda hot lol.

Guessing he had enough money to make it go away but a real man does differently.

I didn't believe Simms though, when he said he didn't know what happened. Kinda bs lol

This is why Purdy and him mesh so well, stand up dudes ok will knock it off now lol

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?

It's not a hour away, but that report sounds like major BS

Hi, this was from yesterday when I posted. I was quoting the Dan Patrick article. Since you asked, I grew up in the East Bay, born in SF. I was mostly defending that this was probably some minor incident.

Now that Coach Shanahan stated what occurred, I will say a momentary lapse of attention can be all the difference. And a head on collision, when he's going 20 mph as he stated and the other driver going probably something similar 20-25 mph, the resulting collision at 40-45 mph minimum will cause some real issues given seatbelt and airbag physics. The two drivers are real lucky this wasn't more significant. Give the coach credit for his accountability. Glad he should be back soon. Assuming there will be a settlement with insurance, etc - let's hope the team does something real nice for the other driver. I bet Coach S has been feeling pretty guilty about this.

You can hear Barrows account of the meeting with KS. A lot of what Kyle told the reporters was supposedly off the record, but Kyle didn't like seeing reports last night that the other driver was at fault, so today he had all of the finest 49ers beat reporters summoned to his office so that he could correct the record.

This almost makes me forgive the time clock issues in SB against the Chiefs. And the defer in the other one and the 4th and 1

That's my coach? F**k did I say that? Lol

a good reminder that the 49ers are a private company.
KS is an employee of a private company.

the public doesnt have a "right" to all information.

This is not a public company or an government organization.

Them exercising discretion is not a "cover up"
