Jeremy Renner has been discharged from hospital after his near-fatal snow plow accident. The 52-year-old actor announced that he was able to catch the season two premiere of his show Mayor of Kingstown at home.
“Out of my brain fog in recovery, I was super excited to watch episode 201 at home with my family,” the Avengers star wrote on Twitter late Monday night.
Previously on his Instagram story, Renner shared a photo of a snowy road that appears to be near his home in Nevada. “It’s a tough ride over the pass,” he captioned the shot. “Be safe out there, Reno/Tahoe.”

Renner was hospitalized in critical condition on January 1 after being accidentally run over by his PistenBully snowplow. The Marvel star dug up a stuck car on the property of his Lake Tahoe-area vacation home after a major snowstorm. He celebrated the holidays with his family.
“Mr. Renner got out of his PistenBully to speak to a family member. At this point it is observed that the PistenBully started rolling. In order to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr. Renner tries to get back into the driver’s seat of the PistenBully. Based on our investigation, Mr. Renner will be run over by the PistenBully at this time,” the Nevada Sheriff’s Office of Washoe County said in a news conference earlier this month.
Renner suffered “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries” and underwent emergency surgery. According to the sheriff’s office, the snow removal equipment weighs at least 14,330 pounds. The Hawkeye star shared several updates from his hospital bed, assuring fans he is on the road to recovery.
“We’re so thrilled with his progress,” the actor’s sister, Kym Renner, told People. “If anyone knows Jeremy, he’s a fighter and doesn’t play around. He smashes all progression goals. We could not be more positive about the path ahead.”
The Oscar-nominated actor reportedly has a “long road to recovery,” a source adds to the magazine.
