In January of 2023, Jeremy Renner was involved in a near-fatal accident near his home after being run over by his own snowplow.
The incident happened on New Year's Day, when the snowplow struck the actor while in an effort to save his nephew from harm, giving him critical injuries to his chest and legs. He was airlifted to a local hospital near Washoe Country, Nevada and thereafter his representatives confirmed that he was in a stable but critical condition.
“Jeremy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue, Washoe County Sheriff, Reno City Mayor Hillary Schieve and the Carano and Murdock families,” a released statement read.
"They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans.”
Just a couple of days later, Renner posted an image of himself in hospital on Instagram while also thanking fans for their support.
Two weeks after that, he was released home to continue his recovery and he later revealed that the accident broke 30 bones in his body.
Renner will speak candidly for the first time about the accident in an interview with Diane Sawyer for Disney+.
In the trailer for the show, Sawyer lists the horrific injuries that Renner suffered, saying:
"Eight ribs broken in 14 places, right knee and right ankle broken, left leg tibia broken, left ankle broken, right clavicle broken, right shoulder broken, socket broken, the jaw and the mandible broken, a lung collapsed and pierced from the rib bone - your liver."
Renner, who is emotional at parts of the trailer, insists he would do it all over again if it meant again saving the life of his nephew.
