The accident was originally reported as a “weather-related incident” and it wasn’t clear what happened with Renner. Police have subsequently shared more details, noting that the Mayor of Kingstown star had been pulled under the Sno-Cat he’d been using in a freak accident. After he was airlifted to the hospital inc critical condition, police impounded the Sno-Cat as they conduct an investigation. The snow plowing machine is designed to have extensive safety features to prevent such accidents, and investigators want to determine what exactly went wrong.
“Jeremy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue, Washoe County Sheriff Reno City Mayor Hillary Schieve, and the Carano and Murdock families,” a statement from the actor’s publicist read after the incident. “They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans.”
