Jeremy Renner Broke 30+ Bones Risking His Life to Save Nephew — The Latter Saved Uncle in Return

• Jeremy Renner had a snowplow accident while trying to save his nephew.

• His nephew managed to help him before emergency services arrived.

• He put his family above his career, risking unemployment just to see his daughter.

Jeremy Renner, famous for his roles in "S.W.A.T" and "28 Days Later," is used to putting his family above his own comfort. Earlier this month, he went so far as to put family above his own safety.

Renner tried to stop the snow tractor on New Year's Day, which was in danger of sliding into his adult nephew. He tried to avoid the accident, which only resulted in Renner injuring himself rather severely.

Reports said that Renner ran to stop the

and was pulled under it. The parking brake on the tractor was not engaged, otherwise, it would have stopped before it pulled Renner underneath it.

The news comes almost a month after the incident, and reports say that amputation may be a reality for the "Avengers" star. His nephew could help him until he was airlifted to the hospital, where he underwent two surgeries in as many weeks.

He took to Instagram last week to share the news about the accident. He mentioned that his New Year's resolutions had to be altered because of the incident, but he was grateful to be alive and said his 30 broken bones would heal with time.

Sheriff's Office Report Reveals Details of Renner's Accident

A Sherrif's Office Report was released yesterday, January 25, 2022, to reveal exactly what had happened to Renner and his nephew on New Year's Day. The report shared the exact details of the accident.

The report said that the snow removal tractor's parking brake was not engaged when it started sliding off the track it usually runs on. It was sliding toward Renner's nephew, and Renner was worried it would knock his nephew over.

Renner was trying to use the vehicle to pull his nephew's truck out of the snow but quickly realized that the situation was becoming difficult to keep under control. The snow removal vehicle began veering sideways.

Renner jumped out when the vehicle began sliding without using the emergency brake. A later inspection of the vehicle confirmed that if the brake had been engaged, the incident might not have taken place.

Once Renner had exited the vehicle and tried to divert it out of fear of it injuring his nephew, it pulled him under and ran him over. He was "completely crushed" by the vehicle and struggled to breathe.

He achieved his goal of the vehicle not harming his nephew but was left with extensive injuries to his own body. His nephew stuck by his side, assisting him as much as he could to breathe until emergency services arrived.

Renner's Current State After Multiple Surgeries and Risk of Amputation

Renner's fans have followed his condition since the news of his accident broke. Many of them fear that they will need to have their leg amputated. Yet this information has not been confirmed by Renner's medical staff.

Reports confirmed that Renner had suffered "blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries," for which he underwent two surgeries. However, there has been no mention of what the surgeries were on or whether or not he would be an amputee.

Fans have speculated about the extent of his injuries and what would happen as a result of his surgeries. Still, neither Renner nor his doctors have confirmed that he is facing amputation.

Renner's post on Instagram talked about the accident as he thanked his fans for being there for him throughout the ordeal. Talking about his injuries, he said:

"These 30-plus broken bones will mend, grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens. Love and blessings to you all.”

His post was flooded with loving messages and kind words from fans and costars alike. The star was supported by all those who loved him as they sent their love and strength to him and mentioned what a strong person he was.

Renner Risked His Career to Spend Time with His Child, but He Didn't Care

Renner and his ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco, share a daughter named Ava. Pocheco and Renner separated in 2014, and since then, Renner has tried to spend as much time with his daughter as possible.

The actor once mentioned that he had limited time with his daughter, and for 18 months, he had been flying back and forth every weekend from London to Los Angeles to spend time with his daughter. He eventually decided to sell his studios to work with his daughter's schedule.

He was warned by the studios that he could lose his work because of it but said he had to learn to tell everyone that he valued his time with his daughter more than he was worried about his work.

Talking about how he responded to his studios telling him that he was at risk of being recast in his roles, he said:

"I said, 'Fine, recast me. I'm going to be here with my daughter.' It was pretty gnarly."

He said being around his daughter was his only priority until she was no longer interested in spending time with him. He said that everything goes out the window when his daughter wants to be with him.

Pocheco and Renner finalized their divorce in 2015, yet they are still embroiled in a bitter custody battle over their nine-year-old daughter. The child's mother is seeking custody over her daughter.

Pacheco claimed that Renner had threatened to kill her and himself once, and she believed that he was a danger to their daughter and an unfit father. She also said he had a history of emotional and physical abuse.

Renner denied the claims and said he would not be responding either publicly or privately because he believed that responding to the claims would give them validation, and he didn't wish to do that.
