On Sunday, Jeremy Renner suffered a serious accident while he was shoveling snow with a machine at his home south of the town of Reno, in Nevada (United States), for which he had to undergo emergency surgery. Today a new video posted by the interpreter was released after “a bad day in intensive care,” according to what he said, receiving a scalp massage from his sister. His mother, present in the room, recorded the video, in which he is only seen in close-up. While the actor is recovering – the severity of his injuries are unknown, beyond the fact that his medical condition was “critical, but stable” at the time of being admitted – the causes of the incident have been revealed.

The first hypotheses point to the fact that the Hawkeye interpreter was helping a relative when the heavy machinery, for unknown reasons, moved and passed over him. Due to the injury, Jeremy lost a lot of blood and a local resident, a doctor by profession, saved his life by applying a tourniquet until he received medical attention.
At that tragic moment, Renner was airlifted to a hospital by helicopter, where he underwent surgery for chest trauma and injuries to his extremities.
Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve told the newspaper Reno Gazette Journal What was the actor doing when he had an accident? “He was helping someone stuck in the snow, he is always helping others,” he mentioned.
Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam expanded at a news conference this week that the 51-year-old actor was helping a family member get their vehicle out, stuck under snow that fell the night before.
“Mr. Renner went to get his PistenBully or snowcat, an extremely large snow removal equipment that weighs close to 6,500 kilos. After successfully towing the vehicle from his location, he got out of his PistenBully to speak with a family member,” Balaam said.
At that moment, according to the authority, the snowplow would have started to roll and, in an effort to stop it, the actor would have tried to return to the driver’s seat to take control of the vehicle. According to the investigation, it was in the middle of that situation that Renner was run over.
Regarding certain speculations that pointed to the possibility that the interpreter had been the victim of a physical assault by a third party, Balaam clarified that “at this point in the investigation, it is not believed that Mr. Renner suffered any assault, but that he It was a tragic accident.”
The Washoe Sheriff’s Office will check the snowplow to rule out any possible mechanical failure that could have caused it to start rolling. “This is part of our normal investigative process. However, we do not suspect an assassination attempt, I want to repeat that, we do not suspect an assassination attempt. We believe it was a tragic accident,” Balaam reiterated.
Despite the severity of the accident, Renner is conscious and has shared an image of himself from the hospital. “Thank you all for his kind words. I am too hurt to write, but I am sending you a lot of love ”, reads the Instagram post.
A rep for the actor told People Tuesday that Renner was “shoveling snow off her driveway on Sunday” so her family members could leave the house after spending New Years together. “He was also helping clear snow from his neighbor’s house, since everyone up there had been without power for 24 hours and there had been a heavy snowfall, so he was helping everyone try to clear snow so people I could get out.”
The serious accident in the snow that suffered the actor shocked his fans and colleagues, who have dedicated affectionate messages to Renner on social media wishing him well. The actor Mark Ruffalo has been one of them and resorted to a post to express his concern and ask for a speedy recovery of who was his partner in several Marvel movies.
“Pray for a full and speedy recovery for our brother,” Renner’s co-star asked on his Instagram stories. “Please send healing goodness your way,” the artist concluded. Ruffalo is not the only celebrity who dedicated a heartfelt message to Renner, several colleagues from Avengers and different actors resorted to their social networks to ask for the health of the actor.
