Jeremy Renner had to write what could have been his last words to his family in the hospital after his snowplow accident on January 1st and it is absolutely heartbreaking to hear that. Good Morning America recently aired a snippet of the actor’s upcoming interview with Diane Sawyer, which featured recordings of the 911 calls made after the incident.
During the interview, which will air in full on Thursday, Renner shared his thoughts on how he believed he would not have survived if his nephew Alex had not been present at the scene. The emotional pain and grief he must have endured during that moment are difficult to fathom.

The pain in Jeremy Renner’s voice is palpable as he recounts the snowplow accident and what could have been his final moments. In a clip shared on GMA, the actor revealed that if he had been alone during the accident, it would have been a terrible way to die, and he surely wouldn’t have made it. However, he was not alone.

He stated, “Yeah, I’d do it again. ‘Cause [the snowplow] was going right at my nephew.” The question posed to Jeremy Renner about whether he remembers the pain evokes a sense of anguish. Renner’s response, which we can only imagine was difficult for him to share, follows: “Oh, all of it. I was awake through every moment.”
Diane Sawyer reviewed the extensive list of injuries, which included over 30 broken bones, but then she asked him about a touching moment he shared with his family. She inquired about the time when he apologized to them in sign language since he was unable to speak after the accident.
The emotion in Jeremy Renner’s voice was palpable as he replied to Diane Sawyer’s question. “Yeah …,” he said after a pause, his head turned away.
