Renner underwent two surgeries to address his injuries and he remains in a critical but stable condition. “His injuries are extensive,” his publicist told CNN. “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.” Renner was the only person involved in the accident, officials said.
A rep of Renner told People that the Hurt Locker star was trying to help his neighbors for the holiday. They reported that Renner was moving snow from his driveway on Sunday so that his family members could depart his home after spending the new year together. He was also helping clear out the snow from his neighbor’s home as everyone up there had been without power for 24 hours and there had been a large snowfall. So he was helping everyone in trying to clear out the snow so people could get out.”
Reno Mayor Hillary Shieve, who is a friend of Renner, praised his efforts in helping out his community to the local newspaper the Reno Gazette Journal. “He was helping someone stranded in the snow. He is always helping others. This was near his home on the Mt. Rose Highway, 25 minutes from downtown Reno.“ He’s always calling and saying, ‘Hey Mayor, what do you need?’” said Schieve. “There are a few times he’ll post about what he has done or donated toys but most of it you would never know he is doing.”
