Marvel actor Jeremy Renner lost a significant amount of blood New Year’s Day before he was airlifted to the hospital after his snowplow accidentally ran over one of his legs at his home in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
A neighbor who is a doctor managed to rush to the aid of the “Hawkeye” star. After fixing a tourniquet on his injured leg an air ambulance took Renner to a hospital near Reno, TMZ reports.
The outlet also noted the star’s injuries are “extensive” and other parts of his body were also injured alongside his leg.
The 51-year-old actor was loaded onto the chopper Sunday around 9:50 a.m. Renner was alone and had been trying to clear a path out of his five-bedroom home following a massive snow storm over the new year.
Renner is said to be in “critical but stable” condition after his Sno-Cat snowplowing machine accidentally ran over him.
The safety feature on the Sno-Cat plow apparently failed, sending the heavy machinery rolling over him.
A spokesperson for the two-time Oscar nominated actor said he was injured in Nevada “after experiencing a weather-related accident while plowing snow.”
The actor, also known for his starring role in the Paramount+ series “Mayor of Kingstown” was “receiving excellent care” in the hospital and that his family was at his side.
