Jeremy Renner penned farewell words to his family as he lay in hospital bed after a snow plow accident.

“I was awake any moment”
A preview clip for the show was released last week. In it, Renner reports on the accident near his home in Reno, Nevada. The actor was trying to get back into his snowplow when it started to roll away and rolled toward his nephew. Renner fell under the vehicle, which weighed tons, and was seriously injured.

Renner further reports that he clearly remembers the pain of the accident. “I was awake every moment,” says the actor, who also describes his great will to survive. “I chose to survive,” he tells Sawyer. “You’re not going to kill me. No way.”
First appearance on the red carpet after an accident
Renner will also reportedly be returning to the red carpet soon. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor is expected to attend an event in Los Angeles on April 11. The reason for the event is Renner’s new documentary series “Rennervations”, which will appear in four episodes on the Disney+ streaming service on April 12.
After the appearance on the red carpet, Renner will take part in a question/answer session, it is said. In advance, Renner had announced the format as his heart project, which also helped him through the difficult time after the accident: “It’s one of my greatest passions and the driving force behind my recovery. I can’t wait for the world to face.”
