After his near-tragic snowplough accident, Evangeline Lilly calls it a “miracle” to watch her buddy Jeremy Renner getting around in a wheelchair.

With more than 30 broken bones, the 52-year-old actor was crushed by his 14,000-lb Pistenbully snowcat machine on New Year’s Day in Lake Tahoe, but Evangeline, who co-starred with Jeremy in the 2008 film “The Hurt Locker,” claims he was “laughing with friends” when she went to see him “the other night.”

She said: “He was in a wheelchair. He has recovered like a mo-fo.

“I walked in his house and got chicken skin, ’cause I was like, ‘Why are you mobile? Why are you mobile? What’s happening?’

“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, a straight-up miracle.”

She added to Access Hollywood: “He’s made of something really tough, that guy. You’ve always been able to see that in him. He is recovering incredibly, and I’m so grateful.

“He had a near-death experience that was highly traumatic – and he was awake for the whole thing. It really has stuck with me. It’s been days and I’m still having moments where some of the stuff he told me that he experienced and retelling me the story of what went on and things he could hear and things he could see…

“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.”

Evangeline acknowledged that the visit to Jeremy’s residence was “tough,” but she also praised her friend for being “very brave and powerful” and said that she now had a “journey to go through.”
