PICTURED: Jeremy Renner seen out in LA for first time as he continues miracle recovery from accident

Jeremy Renner was pictured out in public for the first time since suffering multiple severe injuries in a New Year’s Day snow plow accident near his Lake Tahoe, Nevada home. 

The Marvel star, 52, was the passenger in a vehicle pictured in Beverly Hills, California on a chilly winter day in Southern California.

He appeared to be in good spirits as he smiled while he was driven to an office building, where he spent about 30 minutes at before departing.

The actor was wearing a red shirt and glasses on the outing, which marked the first time he has been seen publicly since the devastating incident.

Renner has been chronicling his recovery – which could potentially last for years – ever since surviving the horrifying January 1 accident.

Renner last week said he was doing ‘whatever it takes’ in his recovery, in video of him improving his leg strength with the help of a Technogym bike.

Renner focused on his left leg as he sat on the chair and pedaled away, using his hand to assist him in the motions. 

Renner also prioritized his ‘mental recovery’ as he curled up by the fire and cracked open The Book of Awakening, a ‘spiritual daybook’ written by philosopher, poet, and cancer survivor Mark Nepo.

In the accident, Renner was using his snow-removal tractor to help remove his nephew’s car from his driveway at his residence near Reno, Nevada, after it became stuck in snow. However, his snow plow began to slide down a street after the car was towed, which prompted the actor to jump out of its cab.

After he exited the vehicle, Renner realized that it could potentially hit his nephew, who was with him at the time of the incident. The Mayor of Kingstown star then attempted to re-enter the snow plow in order to divert its path but he was pulled under its left side track and run over during the attempt.

Renner was crushed underneath the vehicle and was immediately taken to the hospital while suffering from breathing difficulties and various other injuries.

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office report found that the snow plow may have had various mechanical issues at the time of the incident.

The performer underwent several medical procedures while recovering in the hospital and often expressed his gratitude for his medical team through his Instagram account.

Renner was eventually allowed to recover at home and shared a shot of himself undergoing physical therapy last month.

He also penned a short message in his post’s caption that partially read: ‘I want to thank EVERYONE for their messages and thoughtfulness for my family and I….Much love and appreciation to you all.’   

The actor added: ‘These 30 plus broken bones will mend, grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens. Love and blessings to you all.’

Evangeline Lilly, who costarred with Renner in The Hurt Locker, recently spoke to Access and revealed that the performer was in good spirits following the accident.

‘I expected to sit at his bedside and hold his hand while he moaned and groaned in pain and wasn’t able to move. He was wheeling himself around, laughing with his friends. It’s a miracle,’ she said.

The Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star commented that the actor was doing well during his recovery process.

‘He’s made of something really tough, that guy. You’ve always been able to see that in him, and he is recovering incredibly, and I’m so grateful,’ she stated.

Lilly remarked that, although Renner was not fully recovered yet, he had a positive outlook about his future: ‘He’s got a journey to go through now. That’s what nightmares are made out of, and he lived through it, and he’s on the other side now.’
