Jeremy Renner posted a photo of his battered face to Instagram and wrote that he was “too messed up now to type.” Following the tragedy outside his Reno, Nevada, home on Sunday, the Avengers star was airlifted to the hospital.
According to the local sheriff, Renner was run over by his own snow plough, which weighs at least 14,330lb (6.5 tonnes), or three times as much as a car. His spokesperson reported on Monday that he had orthopaedic injuries as well as blunt chest trauma. He was receiving intensive care at the time and was in a stable but serious state.
In an Instagram post from his hospital bed on Tuesday evening, Renner, 51, penned down, “Thank you all for your kind words. I’m too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.” According to Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam, the horrific incident took place after a new year’s blizzard dumped around 3 feet of new snow on the ground.
According to the sheriff, a family member driving Renner’s automobile became trapped in the snow close to his home. Renner successfully towed the automobile free with his snow plough. The snow plough then started to move when it was empty as he exited to speak to his relative. Renner always uses his snow plough to clear neighbourhood roads since he’s a “wonderful neighbour.”
“Throughout the community, he has been very generous and he’s one of those individuals that most of the time you don’t know he’s doing it, but he has made a tremendous impact on this community,” said a neighbour.
In eight states, the new year’s snowstorm claimed the lives of at least 60 individuals. The rally driving champion Ken Block was said to have perished when his snowmobile flipped at his Utah ranch a day after Renner’s accident.
