Jeremy Renner is in “critical but stable condition” after being injured in an accident while plowing snow in Nevada over the weekend, a representative for the actor has confirmed.

“We can confirm Jeremy is in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather-related accident while plowing snow earlier today,” Renner’s representative confirmed in a statement to Variety. “His family is with him and he is receiving excellent care.”

South Tahoe Now reported that Renner, 51, was airlifted to the hospital after officers from the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported traumatic injury in the area of the Mt. Rose Highway at 9 a.m. on Jan. 1.

Renner is believed to be the only person involved in the accident, according to local reports. His publicist didn’t provide further details about the extent of Renner’s injuries or what may have caused the accident.

Renner has been nominated twice for an Oscar for his performances in “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town.”

He currently stars in the Paramount+ series “Mayor of Kingstown” and Marvel’s “Hawkeye” series on Disney+, but is perhaps best known for his roles in the “Avengers” and “Captain America” films as well as in the “Mission Impossible” movie franchise.

The actor, who has a 9-year-old daughter, has a home in Washoe County, Nevada.

He also appears to be an avid lover of snow machinery and has posted multiple photos on social media of himself driving a snow plow.

‘Lake Tahoe Snowfall Is No Joke’

“Nearly done with sledding hill for the kids” one such post from his Instagram account states. Another photo posted to Instagram by Renner on Dec. 13, 2022, shows heavy snow in the area. He captioned it, “Lake Tahoe snowfall is no joke.”

In a video posted to his Instagram account in December 2021, the actor could be seen behind the wheel of an industrial-sized snow thrower.

“I have so much respect for Mother Earth, and Mother Nature … I expect to lose the fight but I'll always give it my best shot,” he wrote alongside the post.

The accident came as almost five feet of snow fell overnight between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day across the area amid a powerful winter storm that has pummeled much of the United States, resulting in at least 60 weather-related deaths.

Officials in Washoe County have warned residents to stay off the roads as crews continue working to remove snow and debris from the roadways amid freezing weather conditions.

The death toll from the storm, which touched down in the United States just before Christmas, is estimated to be around 60 people, with the majority of deaths having occurred in Western New York.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who called the storm “the blizzard of the century,” issued an emergency declaration request, which was approved by President Joe Biden on Dec. 26, 2022.

The approval “authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures,” according to a statement from the White House.

More than 400 National Guard soldiers are currently working in Western New York to help with relief efforts.

Renner is next set to appear in the second season of “Mayor of Kingstown,” which begins airing on Jan. 15.
