Jeremy Renner's 'tiny but monumental' mistake that led to near-fatal accident

"Hawkeye" star Jeremy Renner admitted a "tiny but monumental slip of the mind" caused his near-fatal snowplow accident in 2023. Renner spent much of that year recovering.

"My feet lost their grip on the moving tracks, and I never made it to the cab. I lurched violently forward, out of control," he wrote, according to an excerpt published by The Times. "In that split second I was catapulted off the spinning metal tracks, arms flailing. I arced over the front of the tracks, propelled forward, down on to the hard-packed ice, where my head hit the ground hard and instantly gashed open.

"There came terrible crunching sounds as 14,000lb of galvanised steel machinery slowly, inexorably, monotonously, ground over my body. It was a horrifying soundtrack."
