Jeremy Renner has shared more details about the extent of the injuries he suffered after a snow plough accident, revealing he had broken more than 30 bones.
The Hawkeye star, 52, was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries after he was accidentally run over by his own six-tonne ploughing machine while trying to help a family member on New Year’s Day.
The Hurt Locker actor was ‘crushed’ by the vehicle and had been recovering at the Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada, before returning home after two weeks.
Renner has been sharing updates with his followers throughout his recovery, including being wheeled into a scanning room and thanking ICU staff for ‘beginning this journey.’
In his latest post, published on Instagram on Saturday, The Mayor of Kingstown actor shared a photo of himself receiving treatment while lying in a hospital bed.
He wrote: ‘Morning workouts, resolutions all changed this particular new year…. Spawned from tragedy for my entire family, and quickly focused into uniting actionable love ❤️.
