The “Hawkeye” actor was injured on New Year’s Day in a snow plow accident at his Nevada home

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.

The actor has undergone two surgeries to address injuries he sustained in the accident, a source told CNN.

The Major Accident Investigation Team of the Sheriff’s Office is looking into the circumstances of the snow plow accident, which they did not provide details on.

Parts of western Nevada were covered with snow when the accident occurred. The Reno area received around 6-12 inches of snow at elevations below 5,000 feet between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, and up to 18 inches at higher elevations, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.

Renner has shared multiple videos and photos on his verified social media accounts showing him in snowy conditions, including one Instagram video posted two weeks ago in which the actor appears to be driving a snowplow.

Jeremy Mast, 51, of the Washoe County Sheriff, said in a news conference on Tuesday afternoon that he was hospitalized after a snowplow accident

“Jeremy is making positive progress and is awake, talking and in good spirits,” Mast said a statement released Tuesday evening. “He remains in ICU in critical but stable condition. He is overwhelmed by the showing of love and support. While he heals with his close friends, the family needs your continued thoughts.

The actor thanked his fans from his bed at the hospital Tuesday as he continued to recover from two surgeries after being injured in a snowplow accident.

Thanks for your kind words. Im too messed up now to type. The caption under the photo of Renner in a hospital bed showed love to all of them.

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.

The machine began to roll away at some point when the driver wasn’t in the seat. He was injured as he tried to get back into the machine, Balaam explained. Renner’s family members were with him when he was injured.

Minutes before 9 a.m. on Sunday, authorities received word of the accident through a 911 call reporting a crash involving a snowcat and a pedestrian on Mount Rose Highway, Balaam said Tuesday.

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.
