What happened: Shanahan said his phone fell between the seats and he took his eyes off the road to retrieve it. He said he crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with an SUV.
Why it matters: The 49ers opened camp with Shanahan limited, leaving assistant coaches and coordinators to share his duties. His account corrects an earlier crash-database entry that placed the other vehicle in his lane.
By the numbers: Shanahan suffered three broken ribs, a broken hand, a broken nose and a concussion. His facial injuries required more than 40 stitches.
What to watch: Watch whether Shanahan expands his participation as training camp continues.
