Additionally, more new information about the accident is being revealed. As Mamas Uncut previously reported, Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner was injured while using a Snowcat plow machine to plow his family out after a massive New Year’s Eve blizzard.
According to authorities, Renner had been helping a family member who was driving the car and had gotten stuck, Sheriff Darin Balaam of Washoe County said during a news conference, The New York Times reports. It was after the family member was able to get out of the snow that Renner hoped out of the 7-ton snowplow for a moment.
At that moment, the snowplow began drifting backward. Renner reportedly attempted to get back into the driver seat of the plow and that is when the blow ran over him. Video obtained by TMZ showed the actor being airlifted by a chopper around 9:50 a.m. on January 1.
