Hawkeyes, Jeremy Renner Posted First Selfie Since His Tragic Accident
In his first social media message since being injured on New Year's Day while shoveling snow, "Hawkeye" actor Jeremy Renner thanked supporters for their "kind word."
Renner said in a brief Instagram post beside a photo showing minor facial bruises. “Thank you all for your kind words. I'm (sic) too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.”
Prior to the incident, Renner was reportedly clearing roads close to his Nevada home, according to Samantha Mast, Renner's publicist, who gave further information about the mishap that put the actor in the hospital.
In order for his family to leave his house after they had spent Christmas together, Renner was clearing snow off a private driveway on Sunday, according to his spokeswoman. Renner was with family members when the incident happened.
“Jeremy is making positive progress and is awake, talking and in good spirits, he remains in ICU in critical but stable condition. He is overwhelmed by the showing of love and support. The family asks for your continued thoughts while he heals with his close loved ones.” Mast claimed in a fresh statement made public on Tuesday night.
Even though it wasn't snowing when the accident happened, according to Balaam, Mount Rose Highway was blocked because of "extreme winter weather" and still had snow on it. Approximately 13 to 20 abandoned automobiles, he continued, were also present on the road and were challenging to avoid.
At 9:30 a.m. PT, the first sheriff's department unit arrived on the scene, where Renner was receiving help from emergency medical services, according to Balaam.
When Renner was not in the driver's seat, the snowcat began to move away, according to Balaam, and Renner was struck by the vehicle. He hurt himself trying to get back into the snowcat.
At the time of the collision, Renner was using his snowcat to clear snow from around his own car, according to Balaam.
Authorities do not think Renner was drunk at the time of the event, according to Balaam, who described it as "an unfortunate accident."
Prior to this, a representative for Renner informed CNN that the actor had "blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries."
According to a source close to the actor who is 51 years old, the actor has already undergone two operations to treat his wounds.
Tuesday, according to Balaam, Renner was awake and conversing with emergency personnel when they arrived at the scene.
As first responders arrived, Renner's neighbors provided help and towels while he was hurt, Balaam continued.
The Sheriff's Office earlier said in a press release that the actor was the only one involved in the accident.
At 9:37 a.m. PT, a helicopter touched down next to the roadway, and at 9:56 a.m. PT, Renner was transported to a hospital in the Reno region, according to Balaam.
The snowcat owned by Renner is presently being examined by the Washoe County Sheriff's Office to "rule out any potential mechanical failure," which is a typical step in an inquiry involving such serious injuries, according to Balaam.
Since Renner was on a private road used by his neighbors and not maintained by the county, he was permitted to drive the snowcat, according to Balaam.
“He was being a great neighbor and he was plowing those roads for his neighbor,” Balaam said.
According to Balaam, the police are not concerned about any wrongdoing.
There was snow in certain areas of western Nevada at the time of the accident. According to the National Weather Service in Reno, the Reno region received 6 to 12 inches of snow between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day at elevations below 5,000 feet and up to 18 inches at higher elevations.
On his verified social media accounts, Renner has already posted a number of images and videos of himself in snowy settings, including an Instagram video from two weeks ago in which the actor looks to be operating a snowplow.
As the actor remained hospitalized, Renner's family issued a statement Monday evening praising medical workers and first responders.
Renner plays the title character in the Paramount+ series "Mayor of Kingstown," although he is better known for playing Hawkeye in multiple Movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
On Monday, Renner's "Avengers" co-star Mark Ruffalo pleaded for prayers on his behalf.
