Jeremy Renner’s Harrowing 911 Call & Road to Recovery: Exclusive Interview with Diane Sawyer

Jeremy Renner’s new interview, which aired on April 6, has revealed the chilling 911 call he made right after his snow groomer accident. The call, which was made in a panicked state, describes Renner as being in “poor condition.” Now, with the knowledge of the extent of his injuries, that description seems like an understatement.

In his first television interview since the accident, titled “Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview – A Story of Terror, Survival and Triumph,” Renner shares the haunting plea from the 911 call and details his recovery process. This includes healing from a long list of broken bones and punctured organs.

During the interview, Sawyer lists Renner’s injuries, which are truly horrifying. He suffered eight ribs broken in 14 places, a broken right knee, broken right ankle, broken left leg tibia, broken left ankle, broken right collarbone, broken right shoulder, and multiple facial injuries including a broken eye socket, jaw, and mandible. Additionally, he had a collapsed lung and perforation of the rib bone and liver.

In the previewed call, Renner can be heard waiting for medical assistance while in extreme pain. He recalls being awake and feeling every moment of the ordeal. Renner was using his Pistenbully snow groomer to help rescue his nephew’s vehicle from the snow when the machine slid sideways and down the slope. This caused Renner to exit the vehicle without applying the emergency brake, according to the incident report from the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office.

Renner’s nephew, who witnessed the accident, describes finding him in a pool of blood pouring from his head. He initially believed Renner was not alive. Despite the severity of his injuries and the long recovery process, Renner stated that he would do the same again to save his nephew. He chose to survive and explained that while he lost a significant amount of flesh and bone, he was re-energized and filled with love and titanium.

In the interview clip, Renner is seen learning to move again. He reflects on his initial reaction to his injuries, questioning what his body would do and what it would look like. He compared himself to a “spine and a brain, like a science experiment.”

“Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview – A Story of Terror, Survival and Triumph” will be released a few days before Renner’s Disney+ series, “Rennervations.” In this series, Renner transforms old vehicles into functional and versatile leisure spaces. He credits the series as a driving force in his recovery.

When asked what he sees when he looks in the mirror as he adjusts to his new normal, Renner replied, “I see a lucky man.”
