‘I literally owe you my life’ said the actor in a tribute to medical staff. Jeremy Renner has shared a moving post on the second-year anniversary of his near-death snow plow accident. In January 2023, the 53-year-old Marvel actor was helping clear snow from the driveway of his nephew’s house when he was crushed by his large, seven-ton snow vehicle. He was airlifted to the hospital, where he was treated for severe injuries, including a collapsed lung and more than 30 broken bones.
Earlier this year, Renner’s Mayor of Kingstown co-star Michael Beach, said the actor had “actually died” after his heart stopped beating following the serious incident. “Ringing in my second ‘ReBirthday’ today,” Renner wrote in a caption to an Instagram post on Thursday (1 January).
“I send out my love, respect, and gratitude for the army of people that it took to put me back together again. Thank you to each and every nurse, doctor, first responder… I literally owe you my life.”. He shared the caption alongside an image of himself in a hospital gown, covered in bruises and medical equipment, and surrounded by staff.
“All my heart goes out to my beautiful, brave nephew and the angels (my neighbours) who jumped to my aid and endured the chaos for 45 long minutes on the icy asphalt New Year’s morning,” he continued. “I’m so sorry [for] all the haunting images I imprinted on you all (I’ll spare you all from the meat grinding images).”.
