Shortly before he was struck down and ran over by a wayward snow plow, Jeremy Renner had to do a heroic stunt that would have made his onscreen persona Hawkeye proud.
According to Variety magazine, Renner was in Lake Tahoe in Nevada state with his family for some holiday bonding on January 1, New Year, but the heavy winter weather had the family stranded in deep snow.
Citing the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, Variety reported that Renner was trying to rescue a family member who was stuck in three feet-thick snow near his home by using a large tracked vehicle to break the snow out. What happened next was something that could be straight out of a movie scene.
“Mr. Renner went to retrieve his PistenBully or Sno-Cat — an extremely large piece of snow removal equipment weighing at least 14,330 pounds — in an effort to get his vehicle moving. After successfully towing his personal vehicle from its stuck location, Mr. Renner got out of his PistenBully to speak to his family member. At this point, it was observed that the PistenBully started to roll,” Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said during a press conference.
