The 52-year-old "Mayor of Kingstown" star has kept his fans updated with his recovery efforts following the near-fatal accident at his home near Lake Tahoe on New Year's Day, when he was crushed by a snowplow.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe star recently detailed his traumatic snowplow accident with Diane Sawyer, and remembered writing "last words" for his family after he was crushed by his 7-ton PistenBully.
"Don’t let me live in tubes on a machine," he recalled writing in a note on his phone, "and if my existence is going to be on drugs and painkillers, just let me go now."

He typed the note out, because he could not speak after his chest and back were completely crushed by the snowplow, but he also remembered telling his family, "I'm sorry" in sign language, "because I am sorry I did that to them, and it’s my responsibility. I feel bad my actions caused so much pain."
On Jan. 1, Renner was airlifted to a local hospital in Reno, Nevada and had surgery after suffering blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries when he was "completely crushed" by his 14,000-pound PistenBully snowcat.

Renner told Sawyer, "I was awake through all of it, it’s exactly how you’d imagine it feels like … I was on asphalt and ice … it feels like someone took the wind out of you. Too many things are going on in the body to feel pain, it’s everything. It’s like if your soul could have pain."
He suffered chest trauma and broke over 30 bones, and he has undergone multiple surgeries as a result of the accident.
Renner became a two-time Oscar nominee with "The Hurt Locker" and "The Town." He earned his own Disney+ series, "Hawkeye," after multiple appearances in MCU films, including "The Avengers" series.
