Jeremy Renner on new memoir and how breathing helped him survive near-fatal accident

Oscar-nominated actor Jeremy Renner opened up about his harrowing recovery from a near-fatal snowcat accident in an interview on "CBS Mornings" while discussing his new memoir, "My Next Breath."

Renner was crushed by a 14,000-pound snowcat on New Year's Eve Day 2023, breaking more than 38 bones. Paramedics initially doubted he would survive.

"Your body is lit up and you're drowning, you're on fire, and being struck by lightning all at once," Renner said, describing the excruciating pain during the 45 minutes he waited for medical help.
