Jeremy Renner to Attend First In-Person Event since Snow Plow Accident

American actor and musician Jeremy Renner will be making his first public appearance since he was severely injured in a New Year’s Day snow plow accident. 

Renner is slated to attend the Los Angeles premiere of his Disney+ vehicle-renovation show "Rennervations" on April 11 for a screening and live Q&A portion, according to the streamer. 

The "Hawkeye" actor suffered an accident in January while plowing snow in the driveway of his Lake Tahoe home. He was trying to stop the snow-removal tractor from sliding and hitting his nephew when he was pulled under a 14,330-pound snow plow vehicle and crushed. 

Renner was airlifted to a hospital, where he was treated for “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries”. The actor later revealed he broke 30 bones in the accident. 

First reports had Renner in “critical condition” but after surgery, he reappeared on social media thanking everyone for their thoughts during the difficult process. He since has been keeping fans updated on his recovery on social media. 

“I’ve been on this journey for many years, and I started in my community by building vehicles for people in need. But a few years ago, I thought, ‘How can I plus this up and create a bigger impact on a whole community?’ – and that’s what this show does.” said Renner when the series premiere date was announced. 

“This is one of my biggest passions and it’s a driving force in my recovery, and I can’t wait for the world to see it.”

In Rennervations, Renner teams with expert builders to acquire large, decommissioned government vehicles and reimagine them as “mind-blowing creations” that serve kids in communities around the world.

Renner is a construction veteran with a passion for purchasing and re-imagining huge vehicles with the help of his connections in the worldwide fabricator culture. With his best friend and business partner Rory Millikin and an all-star build crew, Renner travels the globe to reimagine decommissioned vehicles and refurbish them for new uses such as turning a tour bus into a mobile music studio and a delivery truck into a mobile water treatment facility.

The show is set in four locations: Renner’s hometown of Reno; Chicago; Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; and Rajasthan, India.

"Rennervations" premieres April 12 on Disney+.
