On the commemoration of the near-death encounter involving a snowplow, Jeremy Renner conveyed heartfelt appreciation to those who assisted him during the harrowing incident. The two-time Academy Award nominee took to Instagram recently, sharing an image of himself inside a firetruck from the RennerVation Foundation. In the accompanying post, he recounted his visit to Reno Hospital in Nevada, where he sought treatment after the accident that occurred last year.
“Rollin through Reno, NV with joy, blessings, and 🍕!!!!” Renner captioned the post, highlighting his interactions with children, superheroes, first responders, doctors, nurses, and hospital staff. He tweeted, expressing profound thanks to the community that played a crucial role in keeping him alive: “Thank you and this community for keeping me here. I’m forever in your debt with gratitude #loveandtitanium.”
After Renner was accidentally driven over by his unmanned snowcat, a 7-ton snow plow equipment, in Reno, Nevada, on January 1, 2022, he was taken to a local hospital and had emergency surgery. Renner revealed that the event caused “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries,” adding that over thirty bones were shattered in the impact.
