REALLY HEROIC! MARVEL STAR SURVIVES HORROR ACCIDENT

"The Avengers" star Jeremy Renner (52) is recovering from his horror accident on New Year's Day. Unfortunately, it will still take a long time before he fully recovers - with more than 30 broken bones, severe bleeding, and other injuries, he was in mortal danger.

That's what happened: all these injuries Renner contracted because he saved his nephew's life! That's according to the police report obtained by CNN.

The New Year's Day accident happened when Renner used his snowplow to free a car from high snow. The car belonged to his adult nephew. After clearing the snow, the actor got out of the snowplow - and the machine, which weighs tons, suddenly rolled away. According to the police report, Renner had forgotten to pull the handbrake.

Then came the horror: the report says the snowplow began to slide sideways off the hill. "Once he was off the snowcat, he noticed it was heading straight for [his nephew]." Renner reacted immediately, "He feared the snowcat would hit [his nephew], so he decided to try to stop or redirect it."

Renner wanted to use a snowplow like this one to clear the snow from his nephew's car. Then he was pulled under the vehicle by the chain and rolled over.

Renner tried to get back into the driver's cab. Instead, Renner had to climb onto the vehicle's moving track - he was "immediately pulled under the left chain," the report says. With dramatic consequences. The snowplow, which weighed several tons, ran over the 52-year-old father of a daughter (9).

Renner's nephew provided first aid until the ambulance arrived, and relatives called 911. The actor was flown to the nearest hospital.

A friend of the action hero told " Radar Online" a few days ago, "The right side of Jeremy's chest was crushed, and his upper body collapsed. He also had a bleeding head wound and a leg injury." He said Renner "almost bled out" and "almost died" while waiting for help. "It's much worse than anyone knows!"

The friend continued, "Jeremy is aware that he almost died out there."His nephew, however, is doing well, thanks to him!

On Twitter, Renner shared a photo from his hospital bed as a physical therapist treated his leg.

Renner has recovered enough to leave the hospital and is recovering at home. On Twitter, he addressed words of thanks to his many supporters, saying, "I want to thank everyone for their messages and thoughtfulness. Much love and thanks to all of you."

The biggest thanks probably go to himself - for his selfless efforts.
