Jeremy Renner celebrates his 52nd birthday with a message of thanks to his medical team. The actor continues to recover from injuries sustained in a snowplow accident.
“Thank you, the famous ICU medical team, for starting this journey,” Renner captioned an image shared on his Instagram story. The photo shows the actor in a hospital bed surrounded by medical professionals.
Friday’s late post is the third update Renner has shared since he was hospitalized. He underwent two surgeries for blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries after being run over by a snowplow on New Year’s Day near his home in Nevada. The Marvel star was shoveling snow from a private driveway when the accident happened, his publicist told CNN.
Renner also shared a short video of supporters dancing to 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” to wish him a happy birthday, and he thanked them for the “birthday love.”
Several other actors also sent birthday wishes to Renner. “Happy birthday to one of the toughest guys I know,” Chris Evans wrote on his Instagram story with a photo of Renner. “Sending so much love your way.”
Washoe County Sheriff Darrin Balaam said at a news conference Tuesday that Renner’s snowmobile, an engine-driven machine used for snow removal, began rolling while Renner was not in the driver’s seat. He was injured while trying to get back into the machine, Valaam said. Renner’s family members were with him when he was injured.
Authorities received a 911 call about the incident on New Year’s morning. The highway was closed due to bad winter weather. Because of the bad weather, a helicopter was used to transport Renner to the hospital.
