Jeremy Renner’s Shocking Reaction to Surviving a Near-Fatal Snowplow Accident!

by

Jeremy Renner is thankful he experienced death—and thankful he got another chance to live.

Initially, the Avengers’ actor felt furious when he miraculously survived being hit by a snowplow in 2023, an incident that shattered around 30 of his bones and momentarily dislodged his left eye.

The Avengers star was initially enraged upon learning he had been revived following a collision with a snowplow in 2023, an unfortunate event that fractured approximately 30 of his bones and caused his left eyeball to momentarily protrude.

He expressed to Kelly Ripa on her Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast during its May 21st episode that he didn’t wish to return. However, he was compelled to come back and he was extremely frustrated about it.

On January 1st, 2023, he was trapped and severely injured under a 14,000-pound snowcat (PistenBully) for approximately thirty minutes until emergency services arrived at the location.

As a dedicated follower, I shared with Ripa my extraordinary experience: “I had succumbed before they arrived, for I could no longer bear the burden of breathing,” I said. “It was an indescribable tranquility that enveloped me, a serenity beyond compare. There was nothing to perceive but what resided within my mind’s eye – the essence of who I am: atoms, DNA, spirit. It was as if I had reached the pinnacle of an adrenaline rush. Yet, the peace that followed, it was awe-inspiring. So profoundly magical.

Jeremy Renner is thankful he experienced death—and thankful he got another chance to live.

Initially, the Avengers’ actor felt furious upon learning that he had been brought back to life following being hit by a snowplow in 2023 – an incident that fractured 30 of his bones and momentarily dislodged his left eye.

On the May 21st edition of his conversation with Kelly Ripa on the “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast, he expressed that he hadn’t wished to return. Instead, he shared that he had been compelled to come back, and he was truly upset about it.

On January 1st, 2023, he was trapped and severely injured when a 14,000-pound snowcat known as a PistenBully fell on him. Rescuers didn’t arrive until 30 minutes later.

He shared with Ripa, “I passed away before they arrived, because I had grown weary of living and breathing.” He described the sensation as an indescribable tranquility, a feeling more exhilarating than anything he had ever experienced. In this state, he claimed to see only what was within his mind’s eye, as if his very essence—the atoms that make up his being, his genetic code, and his spirit—were being revealed. It was like the pinnacle of an adrenaline rush, yet the peace that accompanied it was awe-inspiring. The magic of this experience was simply overwhelming.

After being brought back to life, I found myself confronted with the raw, unfiltered world once more. The sight of that familiar eyeball stopped me in my tracks, a moment of recognition washing over me. “Ah, there it is,” I exclaimed, taken aback by its persistent presence. Catching a glimpse of my legs, I winced, anticipating the pain they would soon endure. “Alright,” I muttered, focusing on each breath, determined to carry on.

Now, more than two years later, Renner has a new perspective on life.

He expressed his joy at being back and stated, “It feels wonderful to return when I chose to, navigating my journey as the master of my vessel.” His sentiment is clear: “I intend to live authentically, following my path, not anyone else’s.

This implies prioritizing what truly matters in life, such as his 12-year-old daughter, Ava Renner, whom he co-parents with Sonni Pacheco.

The actor said, “I find it hard to accept, the beliefs I held before the accident, about things that hold no worth. It seems strange that I placed so much importance on items that are actually worthless.” He went on, “I put my faith and resources into love and cherished relationships, because those are the only things you carry with you when you leave this world.

He’s not alone; many others have also faced life-changing health issues. Here are some stories from other celebrities…

In April 2025, a former cast member of “Beverly Hills, 90210” shared that he was recuperating following an operation due to his appendix being on the verge of rupturing.

A week ago, Brian shared on Instagram that he began experiencing abdominal discomfort. This led him to visit the emergency room where they found his appendix was about to rupture, but it hadn’t quite yet.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

Adam Devine disclosed that the injuries he received at age 11, following an accident with a cement truck, continue to impact him up until now.

Oh boy, let me tell you, it’s been one heck of a struggle,” I shared on the 2025 episode of the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast. “My body has been throwing these unexpected spasms everywhere. For some time now, the doctors have given me grim news – they thought I was nearing the end, and by this past year, they were literally predicting my demise.

He mentioned that pain appears intermittently, stating, “My body sometimes behaves in a slightly odd and imperfect manner.

Previously on Bachelor Nation, this former contestant disclosed his experience of having to crawl on the floor because of severe back pain, which worsened during a camping trip in an RV with a buddy.

In the March 2025 episode of his “Trading Secrets” podcast, he remarked that his legs from knees to toes were still numb, which was surprising. To give context, let me clarify, I don’t intend to sound arrogant, but about two or three weeks back, perhaps a month ago, I was squatting around 295 pounds. As of now, I can’t even do a simple squat on one leg; if I try, I lose balance. It feels like I’ve had a stroke or something similar.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

During a game in December 2024, an AHL player got injured when another player’s skate accidentally cut him. He needed 25 stitches to heal. After his son had fully recuperated, New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald expressed gratitude to ESPN, stating, “We were incredibly fortunate. I wouldn’t want that to happen to any parent.

Back in March 2025, Gina Kirschenheiter from The Real Housewives of Orange County disclosed that her former spouse, Matt Kirschenheiter, had experienced a heart attack. Fortunately, he made it through this harrowing incident.

30 Rock’s main actor experienced a sudden health issue during a New York Knicks basketball match in March 2025, causing him to be transported from Madison Square Garden in a stretcher.

On the next day, the comedian posted on social media, explaining it was food poisoning and he was recovering well.

In February 2025, the former star of Even Stevens disclosed that she had been accidentally shot in the face during a trip to go clay pigeon shooting, which was arranged as a celebration for her husband Brendan Rooney’s birthday.

She posted on Instagram that there was another group with us who mistakenly fired their weapon in a dangerous manner and it struck me in the face. @thebrendanrooney swiftly responded, evaluated me, and hurried me to the hospital. I was wounded in five spots, one of them being just inches away from my right eye.

The former star from “Kim Possible” added, “Regrettably, a piece became stuck near my eye and it’s not safe to extract it surgically right now. My doctors are keeping a close watch on me, but for now, I can see just fine.

In her own words, the actress expressed her heartfelt gratitude for simply being alive. She went on to say, “My daughters, husband, family, and friends mean the world to me.” She further revealed a near-death experience where she caught a glimpse of her life’s journey and emphasized the importance of cherishing those close to us. “Seize every opportunity to embrace the people around you,” she urged, “for life can alter in the blink of an eye.

Amy Schumer is grateful that despite the internet not always being a friendly space, it assisted her in this instance by providing answers. In an episode of Call Her Daddy from January 2025, she reminisced about dealing with criticism over her appearance and said, “The internet was relentless after my press rounds, but then doctors started commenting and suggesting I might have Cushing syndrome.” Upon learning that the condition could be caused by steroid injections she had been receiving for scar treatments, she realized, “Wait, I’ve been getting these steroid injections. It turns out, I developed Cushing syndrome as a result.” Now, Amy is simply relieved to know that she’s healthy and the syndrome will resolve on its own. As she wrote in her February 2024 News Not Noise newsletter, “Discovering that my type of Cushing would heal naturally was the best news I could have hoped for.

Hailey Bieber experienced a terrifying incident in March 2022 when she began showing symptoms similar to a stroke during breakfast with her husband Justin Bieber. She recalled Justin asking if she was alright, but she didn’t respond because she wasn’t sure. When he asked again, she couldn’t speak and her right side of the face drooped. Unable to form sentences, she decided to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Upon arrival, doctors discovered Hailey had suffered a small blood clot in her brain, which they identified as a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). Further examination at UCLA revealed that she had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The blood clot is believed to have traveled into her heart through the PFO and escaped to her brain, causing the TIA.

Hailey underwent a successful PFO closure procedure and is now feeling well.

2022 marked a challenging period for both Hailey and Justin Bieber as they faced health issues of their own during the same year. Specifically, in June 2022, the pop sensation revealed his diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which resulted in temporary facial paralysis and led to the cancellation of the remainder of his Justice World Tour. As he explained in an Instagram video, this condition affected the nerve in his ear and his facial nerves, causing various parts of his face to become immobile, such as his eyelid, smile muscles, and nostril. He noted that it had become increasingly difficult for him to eat, but fortunately, the paralysis eventually subsided. Hailey shared on a June 2022 episode of Good Morning America that Justin is doing well now, feeling much better, and will make a full recovery.

Jamie Foxx initially chose to keep the details of his April 2023 hospitalization confidential. However, in his 2024 Netflix special titled “What Had Happened Was…”, he shared his experience. One day in Atlanta, he recounted, “I had such a severe headache that I asked for an aspirin. Before I could get it, I passed out and can’t remember the next 20 days.”

Initially examined by a doctor who administered a cortisone shot and sent him home, Jamie’s sister Deidra Dixon then drove him to another hospital where they discovered the cause: a brain bleed that led to a stroke. After undergoing surgery on the 20th day, Foxx woke up in a wheelchair on May 4 and was unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy.

“I just want to express my gratitude for every prayer,” he said, “as I truly needed them all.

Emilia Clarke, famous for her role in Game of Thrones, penned an essay titled “A Battle for My Life” in 2019. In this piece, she described a harrowing experience at the gym where she suffered a severe headache that escalated into a life-threatening brain hemorrhage.

She wrote about collapsing at the gym toilet and vomiting profusely while experiencing intense, agonizing pain. She suspected her brain was injured, and soon found herself in the hospital for a scan. The diagnosis was grim: a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a potentially fatal type of stroke caused by bleeding around the brain.

Emilia underwent immediate surgery to seal the aneurysm, which she described as unbearably painful. During her recovery, she struggled with aphasia, a condition characterized by difficulty in speaking and understanding language. She spent a month in the hospital before making a partial recovery, but a year later, she learned that the growth had doubled in size and required another surgery.

This second operation was more invasive, involving the traditional method of accessing the brain through the skull. Fortunately, Emilia is now reportedly fully recovered and in good health.

Cori Broadus, the daughter of renowned artist Snoop Dogg, expresses her gratitude towards her family.

This is because when she experienced a “serious stroke” in January 2024, they were quick to be by her side.

She shared with TopMob News correspondent Will Marfuggi in December 2024 that she informed them about the stroke and sent a picture. “Everyone came to my aid,” she said.

Due to additional health issues, Cori ended up spending more time in the hospital than anticipated.

“I could have been discharged after the stroke, but my lupus wasn’t cooperating,” the star of Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story continued. “My kidneys were failing. There was a lot happening.”

Today, Cori is making progress towards recovery.

“I’m doing well,” she added. “I just needed to rebuild some motor skills. Other than that, I was in good shape.

In my twenties, my health took a turn for the worse. It got to the point where I was losing my hearing, struggling to walk more than a few minutes without needing to rest for hours, and everything I ate caused discomfort in my stomach. Different doctors gave me various diagnoses, but nothing seemed to provide a clear answer.

Determined to find solutions, I turned to my holistic background and studied herbalism. I sought help from both traditional medical doctors and independent healers, always striving to find some sense of comfort in my own body.

This journey lasted for ten long years. During that time, the physical discomfort led me to develop fear around food, which in turn triggered a series of mental struggles such as body dysmorphia, identity confusion, and feelings of insecurity about my own skin.

Eventually, after addressing both my physical and mental health issues, I am now feeling much better. I’m thrilled to say that I am healthy once more.
