Jeremy Renner was injured yesterday while plowing snow and was airlifted to a local Reno hospital.
“We can confirm Jeremy is in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather-related accident while plowing snow earlier today,” a publicist for the 51-year-old actor told The Hollywood Reporter. “His family is with him, and he is receiving excellent care.”
According to TMZ, the Snowcat snow plow he owns and was using, somehow lost control and ran over one of his legs. The actor, who was alone at the time, lost a lot of blood due to his injury. However, a neighbor, who is a doctor, ran over to assist and was able to put a tourniquet on his leg while they were waiting for paramedics to arrive.
The Public Information Officer at Washoe County Sheriff’s Office told THR that the major accident investigation at their office is investigating how the accident happened.
Hopefully, the actor will recuperate quickly from his injuries.
UPDATE: Here is an update on the actor’s condition. “We can confirm that Jeremy has suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries and has undergone surgery today, January 2 2023. He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition.
“Jeremy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue, Washoe County Sheriff, Reno City Mayor Hillary Schieve and the Carano and Murdock families. They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans.”
