Fans of Jeremy Renner are experiencing a whirlwind of emotions as back-to-back updates show two very different sides of the actor's recent accident. On Wednesday, TMZ released horrifying new details about some of the devastating injuries the 51-year-old suffered just as Jeremy himself offered a hopeful update. Despite everything that's happened, he's not letting it keep his spirits down.
Jeremy posted a video on Instagram updating fans on his progress.
The Avengers star took to his Instagram Stories to give worried friends and fans a look at how far he'd come since his New Year's Day accident.
A very sore and groggy Jeremy could be seen getting a head massage from his sister while he tried to explain how he'd just had his first shower since arriving at the hospital. Although he appeared heavily medicated, Jeremy seemed to be in good spirits considering all he'd been through.
The update came one day after some scary new details were released to the public.
TMZ shared an exclusive scoop about the extent of Jeremy's injuries after obtaining a copy of the 911 emergency call log. According to the news outlet, Jeremy's moans were loud enough that they were heard in the background of the call when the caller informed emergency services that Jeremy was bleeding badly.
It seems more than just Jeremy's leg ended up under the rig.
Although initial reports seemed to indicate that only Jeremy's leg had wound up under the 7-ton snowplow, the 911 call paints a much more gruesome picture.
According to TMZ, Jeremy was "completely crushed" by the Snowcat and having "extreme difficulty" breathing. Even more terrifying, the report claims that the right side of Jeremy's chest had collapsed, and his torso had been completely crushed.
Fans were shocked when news broke of Jeremy's injuries.
The Mayor of Kingstown star had been helping clear the roads after a massive snowstorm when the accident happened. Details are still a bit unclear at the time, but authorities believe that Jeremy had hopped out of the plow to talk to a family member when it malfunctioned and began to move.
Jeremy was injured when he raced to re-enter the plow.
We're wishing Jeremy an easy recovery.
Knowing what we now know about what happened to the beloved action hero, it's hard to believe that he's even alive right now, let alone making Instagram posts for his fans.
This is likely a good sign when it comes to just how much progress he's already made on what is likely to be a long road to recovery.
