Fans and celebrities have shared well wishes for actor Jeremy Renner after the Hawkeye star was involved in a serious snow plow accident on New Year’s Day. As per the BBC, Renner suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries while clearing snow around his Lake Tahoe home. He was later airlifted to the hospital where he remained in a “critical condition” following emergency surgery on Jan. 2. The following day, Renner shared a brief update on Instagram, thanking friends and fans for their “kind” messages of support. “I’m too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all,” the actor wrote alongside a selfie taken from his hospital bed.
On Jan. 25, a sheriff’s report revealed that Renner was injured while trying to save his nephew from being run over. Renner had been using the snowplow to move his nephew’s truck from the driveway but did not engage the parking brake, which caused the vehicle to slide downhill.
