Jeremy Renner screamed ‘not today, motherf***er’ right before horror crash
Jeremy Renner screamed "not today, motherf***er" right before he was crushed by his snow plough in a horror accident.
The Avengers star, 52, was left fighting for his life with 30 broken bones, a collapsed lung and a pierced liver following the crash on New Years Day.
The actor has recalled the horrifying moment in an emotional interview, where he shares his nephew saved his life.
Jeremy had been using his snow plough to try to help his nephew Alexander Fries pull his car out of the snow.
The actor jumped out of the plough and forgot to put on the emergency brake.

Jeremy Renner has opened up about his accident (Youtube)The plough started barreling towards his nephew and Renner is believed to have tried to get back into it while it was moving in in an effort to bring it to a halt, but resulted in him being crushed.
“I just happened to be the dummy standing on the dang track a little bit, seeing if my nephew was there. You shouldn’t be outside the vehicle when you’re operating it, you know what I mean?
"It’s like driving a car with one foot out of the car,” Renner told ABC interviewer Diane Sawyer. “But it is what it was. And it’s my mistake, and I paid for it.”
Renner attempted to jump back into the cab at which point he was ran over.

Despite his extensive injuries, Jeremy bravely admitted in the interview trailer: "I'd do it again. Because it [the snowplough] was going right at my nephew."
He also revealed he was "awake through every moment" of the snow plough crush, with a recording of the 911 call made following the accident set to be shown in the programme.
The actor has since said he refuses to be "haunted" by the memory of the horror incident.
"I shifted the narrative of it being victimized or making a mistake or anything else," he admitted to ABC as he says he wants to move forward.
"I refuse to be f****** haunted by that memory that way."
