Actor Jeremy Renner has opened up about his harrowing snowplow accident earlier last year, reflecting on the many ways his near-death experience has changed his outlook on life. “I can go on and on about what happened, the 45 minutes being on the ice. But the real learning lessons from it—there’s so many great gifts [from] being tested to your limits, right? Your physical limits, your spiritual limits, right? Emotional limits, um, it’s like, I won’t have a bad day for the rest of my life,” he added.
“It’s impossible, right? There’s that gift.” “We were trapped in the house,” he told Mr. Fallon.
“We had a break in the weather and so I wanted to get people outside and have fun. And to do that, I had to clear the road.” Mr.
Renner attempted to use his snow removal vehicle—an enclosed vehicle equipped with tracks for navigating through snowy terrain—to assist his nephew, whose truck had become stranded in the snow. At some point, Mr. Renner exited the more than 14,000-pound machine as he was pulling the truck out of the driveway.
The actor explained that things “got out of control” from there and he was crushed underneath the heavy vehicle. “The machine got out of my hands, and it was running into my nephew and gonna crush him between the truck and the thing,” he said, referring to the snow removal vehicle. “So I jumped back on it, or tried to, and got caught up in the tracks, and, um, and it broke 38 bones, and it was brutal.
