Jeremy Renner: Marvel actor thanks fans on social media, says he’s ‘a mess right now and can’t type’ | The Art News

Marvel actor Jeremy Renner thanked fans on social media after being seriously injured by a snow plow.

On Instagram, he shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed and wrote: “Thank you for all the kind words. I’m in a mess right now and can’t type. But love to all of you.”

The post comes as local sheriffs update their investigation New Year’s Day Events.

Officials stressed they did not believe the 51-year-old was physically injured and that it was a “tragic accident”.

Sheriff Darin Baram said Rainer was a “good neighbor” at the time of the incident, helping his Reno, Nevada, community dig roads that were flooded during a massive winter storm.

He said the actor found his personal car stuck in snow and went to fetch his 14,330-pound (6,500-kilogram) “PistenBully” plow to help haul it out.

“After successfully towing his car, Mr Renner got out of the PistenBully to speak to a family member,” Mr Balaam said.

“That’s when it started rolling. To stop it, he tried to get back into the driver’s seat … and he was run over by PistenBully.

“One witness said he saw Rainer come in … he was not seen again until he was resting in a pile of snow at the bottom of the driveway.”

Mr. Balaam said the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office has taken possession of the plow and it is now being analyzed to rule out mechanical failures — “a normal part of any major investigation.”
