JEREMY Renner has revealed the devastating effects of a tragic snowplowing accident in a new photo.
The Marvel star broke his silence on social media after he was badly hurt while helping to clear snowy roads for his family on New Year's Day.
Renner, who was said by a spokesperson to be in "critical but stable condition" following the accident, has since posted a photo of himself in hospital.
"Thank you all for your kind words," he wrote in the post.
"I'm too messed up to type. But I send love to you all."

The Avengers actor, 51, was airlifted to the hospital on Sunday after he suffered serious "chest and orthopedic injuries," his spokesperson said.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Department said they believe Renner was run over by his 14,000 pound snowcat, a massive piece of driven equipment used to plow snow, while he tried to stop it from rolling.
According to officials, Renner had been operating the equipment near his Lake Tahoe area home in order to clear a path for family that had been visiting for the holidays.
The area had just faced a harrowing New Years' Eve storm where some parts received a whopping three feet of snow, according to local outlets.
Multiple cars were abandoned on Mt Rose Highway which was closed due to unsafe conditions.
Renner's personal vehicle had been stuck in the wintery conditions, leading him to use the snowcat to free it.
After freeing his car, he got out of the massive plow and began to speak to a family member.
It was at this point that the snowcat began to roll away, with Renner giving chase in an attempt to stop it, police said.
It was then that officials believe he was run over by the machine, receiving critical chest and orthopedic injuries.
"He was helping someone stranded in the snow," Reno Mayor Hillary Shieve previously told the Reno Gazette-Journal on Monday night.

"He is always helping others."
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office in Nevada said it was continuing to investigate this incident but, at this point, they do not believe any foul play was involved.
Officials also said they do not believe Renner was inebriated when he was hurt, and deemed it a tragic accident.
Fans and fellow stars have taken to the comments on Renner's latest post to give their well-wishes.
"Continued prayers your way brutha," said fellow Marvel star Chris Pratt.
Actress Vanessa Hudgens wrote: "Sending so much love n healing!"
"Get well soon. Praying for you," said Ashley Benson.
Renner has posted several photos and videos of himself working outside his home at Lake Tahoe.
Last month, he tweeted a picture of a car that was buried in snowfall.
Renner captioned the snap: "Lake Tahoe snowfall is no joke."
And, he also shared a picture of stunning blue skies amid the freezing conditions.
Over a year ago, he posted a clip on Instagram that shows him running a massive plow in the snowy region.
"I have so much respect for Mother Earth, and Mother Nature … I expect to lose the fight but I’ll always give it my best shot #tahoelife life #snowthrower," he captioned the post.
Renner is best known for playing the Avengers character Hawkeye in a series of superhero films.
He recently played the character in the Disney+ mini-series called Hawkeye which was released last year.
The two-time Oscar-nominated actor is also the star of the ongoing crime television show Mayor of Kingstown.
Renner earned his Academy Award nominations for his performances in The Hurt Locker and The Town.
He was recently in Avengers: Endgame in 2019 and Wind River in 2017.
