Actor Jeremy Renner seriously injured in snowplow accident

A-list actor Jeremy Renner was apparently seriously injured on Sunday while plowing snow in Reno, Nevada, according to his publicist. According to KABC-TV, he is currently in "critical but stable" condition at a local hospital.

Renner has emerged as one of the leading male actors of the last 15 years, starring in blockbuster franchises including The Bourne Legacy and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. He has been nominated for an Oscar for his role as Gem alongside Ben Affleck in The Town, and also for his role as Staff Sergeant WIlliam James in the 2008 film The Hurt Locker. He currently plays Hawkeye in the Marvel: Avengers franchise, and acts as the Executive Producer and main star of the Paramount streaming series The Mayor of Kingstown.

Officials provided scant details of the accident other than to note that there were no other people involved. According to a statement from the sheriff's office, "At approximately 9 a.m. on January 1, 2023, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office responded to a traumatic injury in the area of Mt. Rose Highway in Reno, Nevada." The statement went on to state that police are still investigating the accident.

Renner's publicist, Samantha Mast, said, "As of now, we can confirm Jeremy is in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather-related accident while plowing snow earlier today. His family is with him and he is receiving excellent care."

According to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office, Renner lives in Reno and has been a booster for law enforcement in the area.
