Actor Jeremy Renner has undergone two surgeries at a Nevada hospital after suffering serious injuries in a snow plowing accident.
According to Extra, the Hurt Locker star is “conscious, stable and talking” and underwent the surgeries as part of his “long road to recovery.”
Renner has been listed in critical but stable condition after the snow plow accident in Nevada over the weekend.
“We can confirm that Jeremy has suffered blunt force chest trauma and orthopedic injuries and has undergone surgery today (Jan. 2),” Renner’s family said in a statement. “He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in a critical but stable condition.”
New details are emerging with TMZ reporting that Renner was plowing the road a quarter mile from his Nevada home to get his family out after a snowstorm on New Year’s Eve.
The plow, a Snowcat, accidentally ran over one of the actor’s legs, despite a variety of safety features, resulting in significant blood loss, a neighbor said according to the outlet.
Another neighbor, a doctor, put a tourniquet on Mr. Renner’s legs until paramedics arrived. Police arrived at the scene at around 8pm on Sunday night, confiscating the Snowcat, which the actor has been shown using on social media.
In their statement, Renner’s family thanked the “Carano and Murdock families.”

Quick breakup of the actor’s family
With Renner’s family recently releasing a statement, I thought it might be helpful to share a quick summary of his family tree.
Renner was born in 1971 to his parents, Valerie Cearley and Lee Renner, who divorced when he was 10 years old. He is the oldest of seven, with his father welcoming little brother Renner in 2011. The actor was 40 years old when his little brother Theo was born!
She welcomed her only child, daughter Ava Berlin Runner with American Pie actor Sonni Pacheco in 2013. Renner and Pacheco later married in 2014, before divorcing a year later in 2015.
In a previous interview, he opened up about being a father, revealing that he was ready to give up his role as Hawkeye to spend more time with his daughter.
“He taught me how to have the nuts to say, ‘Everybody, screw up.’ It’s my time with my daughter. I said, ‘OK, give me back. I’m going to be here with my daughter. He was pretty grumpy,'” Renner said.
“Acting and everything else goes out the window until my daughter says, ‘I want to hang out with my friends and I don’t want to be around you so much, Dad.'”
