Jeremy Renner is currently recovering from a near-fatal incident that occurred at the beginning of the year. The Marvel veteran sustained “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries” as a result of his involvement in a snowplow accident. 

Renner was trying to tow a family member’s car out of the snow, as local law enforcement reported. After being moved from the spot, Renner’s 14,330-pound snowcat began to roll in his direction. Although he made an effort to control the car, he was struck by it. Soon after the accident, the actor underwent surgery and was then transferred back to the intensive care unit (ICU) in what was initially deemed to be a “critical but stable condition”.

“I have [spoken to him]. I’m going to get emotional talking about it. I’m so grateful that he’s okay. He’s truly made a miraculous recovery. I go back to thinking about how excited I was just to meet him and then I realized very quickly, I can’t believe I’m going to admit this but I will for Jeremy: as Kate Bishop is to Clint [Barton], I am that way with Jeremy. I just couldn’t be more grateful that he’s okay. He’s more than okay. He’s such a fighter.”
