On January 1, 2022, the Hawkeye star was airlifted to a nearby hospital after he was injured clearing snowfall following a severe storm at his Reno, Nevada home in the Mt. Rose Highway area. While exiting the snowplow, Renner discovered the emergency brake system hadn't been applied properly and began to slide towards his nephew, who was in the line of direct impact. In an effort to save him, the Avengers actor attempted to step up on the track of the plow in order to stop or divert its path.
In his first on-camera interview with Diane Sawyer back in March 2023, Renner revealed he not only remembered the pain of being run over, but was also "awake for every moment" of the ordeal.
Sawyer recited the extent of his injuries, including 30 broken bones, "Eight ribs broken in 14 places, right knee, right ankle broken, left leg tibia broken, the left ankle broken, right clavicle broken, right shoulder broken, face-eye socket, the jaw, the mandible broken, lung collapsed, pierced rib bone [into] your liver -- which sounds terrifying," the journalist noted.
Late last month, Renner visited the Reno hospital to honor the medical community and staff who saved his life.
"Rollin through Reno, NV with joy, blessings, and 🍕!!!!" he captioned a photo of himself in a "Rennevation" truck on Instagram. "Stopped by to see kids/superheroes , first responders , and doctors, nurses and staff at Renown hospital Paying my respects and celebrating love, life and the blessings it brings to us all. Thank you and this community for keeping me here.. I'm forever in your debt with gratitude #loveandtitanium."
