Actor Jeremy Renner has been hospitalized. The actor known for giving life to Hawkeye in several of the Marvel films suffered an accident while removing snow at his home and is reported to be in "critical but stable condition", as confirmed by his representative, Sam Mast, to the main North American media outlets:
We can confirm Jeremy is in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather-related accident while plowing snow earlier today. His family is with him and he is receiving excellent care.
It is not yet known what caused the accident in which Renner, 51, who was flown from the property he owns in Washoe County, Nevada, to the nearest hospital in Reno.
Bad weather conditions most likely cause of Renner's accident
However, several media outlets claim that the accident occurred as a result of the snowstorm that hit the region on New Year's Eve. That storm caused nearly 35,000 homes in Washoe, Carson, Douglas, Douglas, Storey and Lyon counties in northern Nevada to have power outages during the early hours of the New Year.
Public Information Officer Kristin Vietti reported to The Hollywood Reporter what happened. According to the story, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office near Reno received a call Sunday morning from Renner's residence in the Mt. Rose Highway area:
Upon arrival, deputies coordinated with Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and REMSA Health to arrange for medical transport of Mr. Jeremy Renner via care flight to a local area hospital. Mr. Renner was the only involved party.
This is not the first time that the area where Renner has a property has had problems due to snowstorms. A few weeks ago, the same actor shared several images near Reno of what the town had looked like after another snowstorm:
