What happened to Jeremy Renner?
Renner was rushed to hospital in a critical condition on January 1, having suffered “blunt chest trauma and orthopaedic injuries” after he was run over by a Snowcat while helping a family member whose vehicle had become lodged in the snow.
Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam later told the media that Renner had used his Pistenbully snow groomer, a 6.35-tonne vehicle he owns, to tow another personal vehicle that had become snowbound on a private road he shares with neighbours.
“After successfully towing his personal vehicle from its stuck location, Mr Renner got out of his (snowcat) to speak to his family member,” Balaam said.
“The Pistenbully started to roll. In an effort to stop (it), Mr Renner attempts to climb back into the driver’s seat. It’s at this point that Mr Renner is run over.”
