Jeremy Renner & the WashoeSheriff Office share update following the MCU star's horrific accident on New Years Day
In his first update since entering the hospital, Hawkeye star Jeremy Renner shared a photo over Instagram and thanked fans for all the support following his tragic snowplow accident on New Year's Day. Renner kept the post short as he wasn't able to type well due to his injuries, but he sent love to everyone out there concerned for him. The update comes as the Washoe County Sheriff's Department held a press conference to clarify some of the details of Renner's accident.
According to Sheriff Darin Balaam, the police department received a call at 8:55 a.m. on Sunday that a pedestrian, Renner, had been run over by a Snowcat. Renner had been plowing snow for his neighbors and family members after a massive storm dropped three feet of fresh snow on the roads in the Mt. Rose area, creating terrible driving conditions. After freeing his own vehicle after it was stuck in the snow, Renner got out of the Snowcat to speak to his family.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Police were delayed in their response to the incident due to the weather, but upon arriving, they called for a flight to get Renner to the hospital as fast as possible due to his condition. They could not confirm the specifics of his injuries, but they could confirm that neighbors came to the aid of the star after the accident. When it was clear Renner was seriously hurt, good Samaritans rushed out to treat his wounds and help until personnel arrived.
As of right now, it appears Renner is taking small steps toward recovery in the hospital. He was in critical but stable condition upon being admitted to the intensive care unit yesterday and underwent surgery for the injuries. His representative told TMZ that since then, "Jeremy is making positive progress and is awake, talking, and in good spirits. He remains in ICU in critical but stable condition. He is overwhelmed by the showing of love and support.
The full broadcast from the press conference is available to watch on Twitter. Check out Renner's update below. We wish him a swift recovery.
