Palo Alto police won't release bodycam video or 911 call from Kyle Shanahan crash
Key Points:
- The Palo Alto Police Department (PAPD) has decided not to release bodycam footage, the 911 call, or the accident report related to 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan’s recent car accident, citing exemptions under the California Public Records Act.
- PAPD stated that no information related to the accident will be disclosed, prompting scrutiny over the legality of this withholding.
- The 49ers initially concealed the July 14 accident for 11 days, with a clerical error initially blaming the other driver before Shanahan admitted fault, explaining he took his eyes off the road to retrieve his phone.
- Shanahan sustained multiple injuries, including a severe concussion, which has prevented him from fully participating in the 49ers’ training camp.
