Jeremy Renner was Trying to Save His Nephew Before Being Crushed by Snowplow

Praise is being heaped on Jeremy Renner as additional details come to light in the wake of his snowplowing accident, hailing him a real-life hero.

According to an incident report procured by Fox News, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office declared that Renner had been attempting to tow his nephew’s truck from a snowbank at his Nevadan home in Reno along a private road.

“Renner was pulled under the Pistenbully, and the track rolled over him,” the report stated.Jeremy Renner was Trying to Save His Nephew Before Being Crushed by Snowplow

Renner’s unfortunate encounter with the formidable PistenBully snow machine on New Year’s Day left him in a state of shock – this massive vehicle weighs an astounding 14,330 pounds! The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed its weight.

The PistenBully began to slip down a slope, prompting the Marvel star to jump out of the vehicle urgently.

Unfortunately, he neglected to engage the emergency brake, causing the hulking plow to careen toward his nephew, who was passively sitting in a truck.

In order to operate the snowplow, one had to step on a track. Renner endeavored to ascend that track so as to steer or stop the vehicle.

“Renner suffered injuries to his torso, extremities, face and head,” the incident report added.

During a press conference, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam recalled the New Year’s Day incident when deputies responded to reports of a traumatic injury just before 9 a.m.

Balaam reported that the Mt. Rose region had received an impressive three feet of snow overnight, leaving several cars stranded in its wake.

After hauling his car out of the snowbank, Renner alighted from the snowcat, and soon after he watched as it began to lumber away. “In an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr. Renner attempted to get back into the driver’s seat,” Balaam said.

On Jan, 17, the “Avengers” star shared on Twitter that he was home from the hospital.
