Jeremy Renner, known for his work in Marvel films, has been hospitalized after a snow plowing accident in Reno, Nevada, his representative Sam Mast said to NBC News.
Renner is said to be 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,” Mast said.
The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office said they responded to a “traumatic injury” at around 9 a.m. Pacific Time.
“Upon arrival, Deputies coordinated with Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and REMSA Health to arrange for medical transport of Mr. Jeremy Renner via care flight to a local area hospital,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
“Mr. Renner was the only involved party in the incident,” the statement continued.
The sheriff’s office is investigating the accident.
He is a two-time acting Oscar nominee, scoring back-to-back nods for “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town.” Renner’s portrayal of a bomb disposal specialist in Iraq in 2008’s “The Hurt Locker” helped turn him into a household name.
“The Avengers” in 2012 cemented him as part of Marvel’s grand storytelling ambitions, with his character appearing in several sequels and getting its own Disney+ series, “Hawkeye.”
