Palo Alto lieutenant Nicholas Martinez told ESPN that the other driver was not injured and that drugs or alcohol were not involved. Shanahan was taken to the hospital by local paramedics after the wreck and was released after spending much of the day there.

He told the outlet that no one was cited for the collision. 

The 49ers’ training camp starts on Sunday, but Shanahan will not be allowed to participate until he is cleared by doctors. The longtime coach told his assistant coaches about the accident on Tuesday, according to the report.

Shanahan is entering his 10th season as the 49ers head coach and is widely considered one of the best coaches in the NFL. Over nine seasons, he has an 82-67 record and has led the team to the Super Bowl twice. 

Shanahan is believed to be recovering well and healing at home, according to the report. The 49ers’ first game of the season is against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 10 in Melbourne, Australia.
