Avengers star star Jeremy Renner shared a photo of himself on Instagram Tuesday after he underwent surgery on Monday following a snowplow accident.
The accident left Renner, 51, with “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries.”
In the Instagram post, Renner said thank you to everyone for their kind words.
“I’m too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all,” he wrote.
Renner’s publicist Samantha Mast confirmed that the actor’s condition is stable but critical. The statement said Renner, 51, is still in the intensive care unit.
The actor was injured at his Reno, Nev., home after a “weather related” accident occurred while he was operating a snowplow on Sunday, Mast said after the incident.
He was airlifted to hospital. Renner, who is best known for his portrayal of sharpshooting Marvel superhero Hawkeye, was the only person injured in the accident. Local authorities said they are still investigating the incident.
TMZ reported that Renner’s neighbours said his snowplow accidentally ran over one of the actor’s legs. The neighbour said Renner lost a lot of blood as a result of the injury, and the outlet said another neighbour put a tourniquet around Renner’s leg until paramedics could reach the scene.
This account of the events doesn’t explain how the actor suffered chest injuries.
The snowplow was towed on Sunday night, several hours after the accident.
“Jeremy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue, Washoe County Sheriff, Reno City Mayor Hillary Schieve and the Carano and Murdock families,” Mast said. “They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans.”

Jeremy Renner, the actor best known from the Academy Award-winning film The Hurt Locker and for the role of Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was hospitalized Sunday following an accident in Nevada. As first detailed by The Hollywood Reporter, emergency workers near Reno were dispatched to his home, and coordinated an extraction via Care Flight to a local hospital.
A representative told THR late Sunday that he is in “critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather-related accident while plowing snow.” They added that “his family is with him, and he is receiving excellent care.”
Renner owns property in the Mt. Rose area of Washoe County, Nevada, between Reno and Lake Tahoe. The area experienced an assault of bad weather over the weekend; dozens of drivers near Lake Tahoe needed a New Year’s Eve rescue on Interstate 80 after many cars spun out in the snow.
In a 2019 interview with the Reno Gazette Journal, when he was photographed at a community charity event at a local Walmart, the actor spoke warmly about his home in the area, where he teaches his children to ski. “There’s no traffic, clean air, clean water, friendly, smiling faces here. I think it’s a majestic place,” he said glowingly about the community.
Earlier in the month he shared photos on social media about the deluge of snow the area had received.
