Photos of the gruesome scene of Jeremy Renner’s shocking snowplough accident have been publicly released for the first time.

Blood-soaked snow can be seen near part of the machinery in the images that are shown in his first TV interview since the New Year’s Day incident.

The Hawkeye star fights back tears as he opens up about the accident which nearly killed him with veteran journalist Diane Sawyer.

In a preview to the interview Renner, 52, says he refuses to be “haunted” by the memory of the incident.

“I shifted the narrative of it being victimised or making a mistake or anything else,” Renner says in the hour-long special.

“I refuse to be f – – king haunted by that memory that way.”

He also said he would “do it again” because he saved his nephew’s life.

“Because it was going right at my nephew,” he said.

The interview with ABC America, which airs in full on Thursday 10pm US time, shows Renner reflecting on the excruciating pain he felt when he believed he was “dying” after being hit.

“[I felt] all of [the pain],” he shares before brutal audio of his 911 call plays.

“I was awake through every moment.”

He also revealed that while in hospital he was writing his “last words” to his family.

However, despite his horrific injuries, which include shattered ribs, a broken mandible and a broken leg, Renner said he hopes one day to get back to performing his own stunts.

“I chose to survive, it’s not going to kill me, no way,” he said.

“I’ve lost a lot of flesh and bone in this experience, but I’ve been refuelled and refilled with love and titanium.”

Jeremy Renner was left with horrific injuries.

A nearby neighbour said he saw a lot of blood and that when he looked at Renner’s head, it appeared to be “cracked wide open”.

The man, Rich Kovach, said he could see white and wasn’t sure if what he was seeing was Renner’s skull or just his imagination.

Renner, who rose to fame in the Academy Award winning movie The Hurt Locker, returned home from hospital a couple of weeks later and started documenting his intense rehabilitation and upright exercises, which he began just two months after the accident.

“Whatever it takes,” he captioned a video of himself working out.

Despite his horrific injuries Jeremy Renner hopes to perform his own stunts soon.

Renner’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania co-star Evangeline Lilly called his recovery a “miracle.”

“He’s made of something really tough, that guy,” she said last month.

“You’ve always been able to see that in him. He is recovering incredibly, and I’m so grateful.”
