Saved nephew from 14,000-pound vehicle
Memoir details trauma and recovery
Calls experience "emotionally cathartic"
'The Avengers' star was injured by his 14,000-pound Snowcat vehicle while trying to stop it from hitting his nephew in January 2023. He suffered over 35 broken bones and serious injuries to his head and chest, reported People.
Renner, who recently spoke to the publication, opened up about the accident, stating that it is a part of his life now and that writing about it helped him process the trauma.
"Writing about it has been very emotionally cathartic to have to go word by word through it all again. I don't not talk about it. It's part of my life every day, and it's always a wonderful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and how fragile the body is and how badass it is at recovery," Renner told People.
In the book, he recalls a shocking moment when he could see his "left eye with [his] right eye" after his head hit the pavement. Despite the pain, Renner says he is not haunted by the memories.

"I'm not haunted by the incident -- not too often anyway -- by the images, the sounds. But I am reminded of my new reality, and it's wonderfully positive. I didn't die."
Renner had suffered injuries while trying to save his nephew, Alex, who was 27 at the time of the accident.
