Hollywood star Jeremy Renner has recovered from severe injuries sustained on January 1 while shoveling snow. The famous actor underwent two surgeries and posted the first photo from the hospital ward on Instagram. “Thank you all for the kind words. I’m too sick to type but I’m sending you all love” he wrote.
Renner’s spokesman Sam Mast said the actor is making positive progress. Jeremy is talking, cheerful and in a good mood. While he remains in the intensive care unit. Doctors still assess his condition as critical.
Darin Balaam, sheriff of Washoe County, Nevada, where Renner’s ranch is located, held a special briefing during which he gave some details of the incident. According to him, on January 1, all roads in the district were covered with snow. The height of the snow cover was about two meters.
One of his relatives tried to drive to Renner’s car. The actor went to help the driver on his snowplow. The sheriff clarified her brand - PistenBully. Balaam emphasized that Renner did a great job with any heavy equipment. Jeremy also cleared roads in the area, helping the neighbors.
He managed to get to a relative stuck in the snow. Renner pulled his car. He drowned out his PistenBully and began to talk about something with a relative. At that moment, the snowplow suddenly started moving. Jeremy tried to jump into the cockpit on the move to stop her. However, he fell, and PistenBully weighing more than 6 tons ran over his leg.
The actor received a severe chest injury and multiple leg fractures. He lost a lot of blood. Renner was taken to the hospital by helicopter.
According to the sheriff, no traces of drugs or alcohol were found in Jeremy’s blood. So the incident was classified as an accident. Investigators are checking for a mechanical problem with the snowplow.
