Jeremy Renner, a star of Marvel and an Avengers member, underwent surgery after becoming injured while using a snowplow to clear snow from his driveway. He is currently in serious condition.

After the collision on Sunday, he was airlifted to the hospital. According to BBC News, Renner sustained an orthopedic injury and traumatic chest damage. His spokeswoman Samantha Mast told US media on Monday night that Renner is still in intensive care.

Detailing the event: “Based on our investigation, Mr. Renner’s personal vehicle, which was being driven by a family member, had become stuck in the snow near his home,” Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said.

“Mr. Renner went to retrieve his PistenBully [snowplow] or snowcat, an extremely large piece of snow removal equipment, weighing at least 14,330 pounds, in an effort to get his vehicle moving. After successfully towing his personal vehicle from its stuck location, Mr. Renner got out of his PistenBully to speak to a family member. At this point, it is observed that the PistenBully started to roll. In an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr. Renner attempts to get back into the driver’s seat of the PistenBully. Based on our investigation, it’s at this point that Mr. Renner is run over by the PistenBully. An eyewitness detailed seeing Mr. Renner get into the PistenBully and not seeing him again until the PistenBully came to a rest in a pile of snow in front of his driveway. At this point in the investigation, we do not believe Mr. Renner was impaired at all, and we believe this is a tragic accident.”

The PistenBully, which the sheriff’s office now has, is being analyzed so that any technical issues or considerations like whether the vehicle was meant to be in the park may be ruled out, as they would in any significant inquiry, he said. They don’t believe there has been any foul play, he said several times.

On Tuesday (January 3), in the late afternoon, Renner, who is currently in critical condition and receiving treatment in intensive care, uploaded a picture of himself lying on a hospital bed to Instagram.

Renner, a two-time Oscar nominee, is best recognized for his role as Clint Barton/Hawkeye in the Marvel Avengers movie series and its offshoot television series Hawkeye.
