Jeremy Renner has detailed the circumstances of the snowplow accident that almost cost him his life. During an interview on ABC yesterday, the actoravengers explained that he was driving the contraption after using it to clear one of the family’s snow-covered trucks. When the vehicle began to skid on the ice, he feared for the safety of his nephew, Alex, who was unhooking the chains between the plow and truck.
Jeremy Renner put one foot out, without having applied the handbrake, to see where his nephew was. He then fell out of the cabin and tried to get back in by jumping into the vehicle to stop it. He got caught in the tracks of the machine, and was thus crushed, with about thirty fractures as a result.
pay for mistakes
“You’re not supposed to be outside the vehicle you’re driving, you know what I mean? It’s like driving a car with one foot out of the car,” Jeremy Renner, sitting in a wheelchair, said on the ABC set. “I made a mistake and I paid for it. »
When he woke up in hospital, the Oscar-nominated actor’s first act was to apologize to his family.
Guilt and Healing
” It’s my fault. I blame myself for having caused so much suffering by my actions, ”he confessed with emotion on the set.
His injuries were so severe that he asked his family to let him go if he had to be kept alive. Fortunately, his health improved quickly and he learned to walk again with assistance two months after the accident.
