2023 got off to a shocking start when we learned that MCU star Jeremy Renner had been seriously injured in a snowplow accident on his property in Nevada on New Year’s Day. Renner recently posted to social media to let fans know of his condition, which indicates things are perhaps on the road to recovery, but we’re now getting more information about exactly what happened to cause the terrible accident.

Details are beginning to emerge and Reno mayor Hillary Schieve, who is friends with the actor, told the Reno Gazette Journal that Renner was using his plow to clear the road so that somebody could get their car out after a significant storm in Northern California and Western Nevada dumped a significant amount of snow overnight. Renner owns the same sort of snowplow used by ski resorts to groom trails and Schieve says Renner frequently uses it to keep the roads clear for everybody that lives in the area.
