Jeremy Renner has issued his first statement since he was\u00a0hit by his own snow plow, with authorities revealing that the 6,500kg vehicle had \u201crun over\u201d the star of The Avengers when it began to unexpectedly roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday afternoon Renner, who\u00a0remains in a critical condition\u00a0and is being kept in intensive care,\u00a0shared a photo of himself\u00a0in a hospital bed to his Instagram. \u201cThank you all for your kind words,\u201d the caption read. \u201cIm too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday it was revealed that the 51-year-old actor had been airlifted to hospital after being seriously injured while using his snow plow at his home near Reno,\u00a0Nevada. He underwent surgery for blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries, with a witness telling TMZ that one of Renner\u2019s neighbours, a doctor, had put a tourniquet on his heavily bleeding leg until paramedics arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a press conference on Tuesday, Washoe county\u2019s sheriff, Darin Balaam, said his department\u2019s investigation had found that Renner was struck by the plow while trying to free his car, which was being driven by a family member, from snow near his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr Renner went to retrieve his PistenBully or Sno-Cat \u2013 an extremely large piece of snow removal equipment weighing at least 14,330 pounds [6,500kg] \u2014 in an effort to get his vehicle moving,\u201d Balaam said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter successfully towing his vehicle from its stuck location, Mr Renner got out of his PistenBully to speak to his family member. At this point, it was observed that the PistenBully started to roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr Renner attempts to get in the driver\u2019s seat of the PistenBully. Based on our investigation, it is at this point that Mr Renner is run over by the PistenBully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had been a \u201ctragic accident\u201d, Balaam added, saying the sheriff\u2019s office was investigating a possible mechanical failure in the snow plow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The northern Nevada region\u00a0experienced heavy snowstorms\u00a0over Christmas and new year, with more than 10,000 Washoe county residents losing power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
