Jeremy Renner recounts his life-changing New Year's Day 2023 accident involving his snowplough, which resulted in him being run over while trying to save his nephew. In his memoir, Renner reflects on the critical moment that led to the accident and his realization of the grave injuries he sustained. He vividly describes the agonizing experience of being crushed, suffering from multiple broken bones and a pierced lung. Throughout the ordeal, Renner remained conscious and aware of the horrific sounds and sensations of the machinery, capturing the traumatic essence of that day.
I didn't engage the parking brake, or disengage the steel tracks. In that moment an innocent, critical, life-changing moment that tiny but monumental slip of the mind would change the course of my life forever.
There came terrible crunching sounds as 14,000lb of galvanised steel machinery slowly, inexorably, monotonously ground over my body. It was a horrifying soundtrack.
I knew that my skull was split like a watermelon, my brain pulverised like meat... crack, snap, crack, squeeze, crack.
A sting of bright white in my eyes—I was blinded by a coruscating lightning, a lightning that signals the break of my orbital bone.
