The 53-year-old Marvel star shared her gratitude in a touching message Instagram post uploaded on Wednesday, Jan. 1 as he reflected on the snowplow accident that nearly killed him two years ago.
Renner was rushed to the hospital and subsequently broke more than 30 bones covered by a snow plow at his home in Nevada on New Year’s Day 2023. In the caption of the Instagram post, the actor marked the two-year anniversary of the near-fatal accident.
“Happy New Year to you all… As I mark my second ‘Rebirth’ today, I send my love, respect and gratitude to the army of people it took to bring me back together,” he wrote.
Jeremy Renner is thanking the doctors, nurses and first responders who helped him a year ago during a near-fatal snowplow accident. “Go through Reno, Nevada with joy, blessings and 🍕!!!! I stopped by to see kids/superheroes, first responders, and doctors, nurses and staff at Renown Hospital,” Renner, 53, shared via Instagram on Friday, Dec. 29. “Paying me (…)
“Thank you to every nurse, doctor, first responder… I literally owe you my life. My whole heart goes out to my handsome, brave nephew and the angels (my neighbors) who jumped in and endured the chaos for 45 long minutes on the icy asphalt on New Year’s morning. I’m so sorry for all the haunting images I imprinted on all of you (I’ll spare you all the meat-grinding images)…”
He continued: “My list of thanks is very long… With the amount of love and prayers that have been poured out from you all over the world (in need of each and every one of them), my family has never left me, by some divine intervention, a little luck and many miracles… I stand strong again. Still open. More loved. More connected. And king BLESSED to take my next step, to take MY NEXT BREATH. I thank you with every fiber and cell in my body. I love you ALL ❤️. #MyNextBreath.”
Along with the lengthy caption, Renner shared a post of himself in a hospital bed surrounded by doctors, nurses and hospital staff.
The accident in January 2023 saw the actor crushed by a PistenBully, a snowplow weighing more than 14,330 pounds, near his home while clearing snow with his nephew.
As a result of the accident, Renner suffered more than 38 broken bones, including six broken ribs in 14 places, a broken tibia and a collapsed lung.
“I remember every wave,” he said Men’s health in July 2024 “I remember my head smashing into that thing and it just squeezed me — just like you’d think it would feel. An immovable object and a crushing force, and something has to give. But, thank God, my skull didn’t give up completely.
