A man is recovering from a surgery after he was injured in a snow plowing incident
Jeremy Renner, 51, was injured on New Year’s Day as a snow plow accident at the Reno-Oak Valley Sheriff’s Office
The “Hawkeye” actor was injured on New Year’s Day near his Nevada home while he was clearing snow from a private driveway to help family members leave his house after gathering for the holidays, according to his publicist, Samantha Mast.
A source told CNN that the 51-year-old actor had two surgeries to address injuries he sustained in the accident.
The Sheriff’s Office did not provide details on how the snow plow accident happened but said its Major Accident Investigation Team is looking into the circumstances of the incident.
At the time of the accident, parts of western Nevada were covered with snow. Between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, the Reno area received up to 12 inches of snow at elevation below 5000 feet, and as much as 18 inches at higher altitudes.
The trailer for the new docuseries shows Jeremy Renner behind the wheel of large vehicles in the name of doing good, months after he was involved in a devastating snow plow accident.
The family of Jeremy would like to thank the doctors and nurses who looked after him, as well as the Carano and Murdock families, the statement read. They are incredibly appreciative of the love and support from his fans.
Actor Jeremy Renner thanked fans from his hospital bed Tuesday as he continued to recover from two surgeries following being injured by a snowplow machine in what officials described as “a tragic accident.”
Thank you for all of your kind words. I don’t know how to type now. The caption under the photo of him in the hospital bed said, “But I send love to you all.”
Renner, 51, was run over by his snowcat, an engine-powered machine used to clear snow, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said on Tuesday during a news conference.
At some point, the machine started to roll away while Renner was not in the driver’s seat, Balaam said. He was trying to get back into the machine when he was injured. Renner’s family members were with him when he was injured.

The authorities received a report of the crash involving the snow cat and the person on Mount Rose Highway minutes before 9 a.m. on Sunday.
Even through it was not snowing at that time, that highway was closed and at least a dozen cars were stranded due to the severe winter weather that was hitting the area, Balaam said.
Due to these conditions, a helicopter landed in the vicinity of the highway at 9:37 a.m., and Renner was taken to a Reno-area hospital at 9:56 a.m., Balaam said.
On Tuesday, a trailer was released for his project, “Rennervations,” which shows him and a team of experts travelling the world looking for old vehicles that they can rebuild to serve communities in need.
The actor said in the release that the show, which he says was filmed before his accident, is one of his biggest passions.
“I’ve been on this journey for many years, and I started in my community by building vehicles for people in need. A few years ago, I thought how can I create a bigger impact on a whole community by adding this up and creating a show like this. “This is one of my biggest passions and it’s a driving force in my recovery, and I can’t wait for the world to see it.”
In the trailer, Mackie and Renner are seen sitting at a table together when Renner jokes that “there’s a lot of concern on the ‘Avengers’ family chat like, what is Renner doing?”
