Jeremy Renner speaks about ‘tiny but monumental slip of the mind’ which led to snowplough accident

The actor describes the horrifying details of the ordeal that left him with 38 broken bones in his upcoming memoir

Writing in his upcoming memoir, Renner, 54, has shared his memories of the moments before and during his experience being dragged under his own vehicle while trying to save his 27-year-old nephew, Alexander Fries, outside his home in Lake Tahoe.

Instead, Renner lost his footing and was propelled on to the ice in front of the truck, “where my head hit the ground hard and instantly gashed open”.
