Jeremy Renner is in “critical” but stable condition following an accident involving a snow plow at his Lake Tahoe home.
Renner was attempting to clear his driveway after a massive winter storm inundated the Lake Tahoe region last week.
The two-time Oscar nominee was airlifted to a Reno-area hospital with “extensive injuries.”
TMZ further reports:
According to a neighbor, the plowing machine — called a Snowcat — accidentally ran over one of Jeremy’s legs, and he was losing a lot of blood from the injury. We’re told another neighbor, who’s a doctor, was able to put a tourniquet on his leg until paramedics arrived.
We’re told the area was treated like an active crime scene … with police arriving at 8 PM to impound the Snowcat, which Jeremy’s previously posted video of himself using on his property after snowstorms. The issue, we’re told, is the machine has extensive safety features, and should not have rolled over Jeremy.
As we reported, Jeremy is in “critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather-related accident while plowing snow” … according to a rep.
According to dispatch audio, obtained by TMZ, first responders were initially concerned about the conditions to access the accident due to the storm.
Besides being nominated for his performances in 2008’s “The Hurt Locker” and 2010’s “The Town,” Renner has played the character of Hawkeye in several Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films, including three of the Avengers movies.
