Jeremy Renner Shares Snowplow Accident Details in New Memoir

Jeremy Renner, acclaimed for roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and 'The Hurt Locker,' has opened up about his near-fatal snowplow accident in January 2023, which occurred while he was trying to save his nephew. Crushed by a 14,000-pound snowplow, Renner suffered over 30 broken bones, a collapsed lung, and severe head trauma, later detailing the harrowing experience and his recovery in his memoir 'My Next Breath.' He reflects on the 'tiny but monumental' mistake of not engaging the parking brake, acknowledging how this split-second oversight led to the life-altering event. Renner describes how, despite the agony, he maintained optimism and problem-solving focus while awaiting help, with neighbors and paramedics playing crucial roles in his survival. Writing the memoir was emotionally cathartic for Renner, providing perspective on resilience, the fragility of the body, and the strength required for recovery. He has since returned to acting, though his future in some major franchises remains uncertain.
