American actor Jeremy Renner, known for his role as “Hawkeye” in Marvel movies, gave his first interview after a terrifying incident with a snowplow that left him with over 30 broken bones. The actor said the accident was his fault and apologized to his family for what they had to go through.
In an hour-long documentary on ABC, which was taped at his home, 52-year-old Renner shared details of the January 1 incident. The actor was in critical condition for several days. He told how one of his family members got stuck in the snow in a truck, and to help him, the actor started his snowplow, cleared a path on it, and towed the truck to the sidewalk. In the early days of 2023, blizzards ravaged the USA.
The PistenBully Jeremy Renner is a snow grooming machine that weighs nearly 6.5 tons, three times heavier than an average car. These machines are typically used at ski resorts to groom trails. Suddenly, the snow groomer slipped on the ice, and Renner said he was worried about his nephew, Alex, who was standing behind the vehicle. He had just disconnected the tow ropes that connected the snowblower to the freed truck. To make sure Alex was okay, Renner stuck one leg out of the cabin and looked back without applying the handbrake. As a result, the actor lost his balance and fell out of the cabin.
Jeremy Renner spent about two weeks in the hospital and then continued his rehabilitation at home. “If you’re driving, you shouldn’t be outside the car. You know what I mean? It’s like driving a car with one leg hanging out,” the actor told journalist Diane Sawyer in an interview. “But what happened happened. It’s my fault, and I paid for it,” he added.
After falling out of the snowplow, Renner tried to climb back into the cab to make sure the machine didn’t run over his nephew. He put his foot on the tracks, but because they were moving, he was thrown forward and crushed by the snowplow. As a result, Renner was diagnosed with over 30 broken bones, a collapsed lung and a punctured liver. Rescuers were called to the scene by neighbors. They reported that they found the actor in the snow, in a pool of blood, his breathing was rapid and they noticed a crack on his skull.
When asked if he remembers the pain now, Renner confessed that he didn’t lose consciousness and felt everything. “It’s hard to put that feeling into words. It’s like someone knocked the breath out of you. Like your soul could feel the pain.” When Renner woke up in the hospital and saw his loved ones, he told them in sign language: “Forgive me.”
