January 6, 2023

Jeremy Renner was “completely crushed” under a snowcat and struggling to “breathe” after being involved in a snowplow accident on New Years Day, according to a 911 call log obtained by Fox News Digital.

Renner was airlifted to a local hospital and underwent surgery after sustaining blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries. He was reportedly the “only party involved in the incident” near his Lake Tahoe home.

Dispatch reported that a subject was “groaning loudly in the background” of an 8:58 a.m. call where “severe bleeding” was recorded. Seconds later, the dispatch wrote, “Subject is bleeding profusely from head and other unknown injuries.”

It was also noted that the caller was unsure “where all the blood came from”. Additionally, the newspaper states that Renner’s “right side of chest is believed to have collapsed” and “upper torso is crushed.”

‘Careflight and Incline Fire’ were asked to answer the call where the roads were reported as ‘extremely icy’ due to a storm the previous night. “Some stranded vehicles need to be watched, but they should be able to get out,” the newspaper said.

“Jeremy Renner has all kinds of injuries but he’s currently breathing[ing] and con[scious] – being loaded into a care flight now,” the transcripts reported at 9:44 a.m.

Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam shared at a news conference on Tuesday that deputies responded to a 911 call at 8:55 a.m. Sunday.

“Although it was not snowing at the time of the accident, the Monte Rosa highway was closed,” he said. Around 9:30 a.m., first responders arrived. At 9:56 a.m., “Mr. Renner was airlifted” to a hospital.

Balaam also described how the accident involving the ‘Mission: Impossible’ actor happened. Per Balaam, Renner’s personal vehicle, which was driven by a family member, got stuck. Renner then picked up his PistenBully, a 14,000-pound snowcat.

After successfully towing his own vehicle out of his driveway, Renner got out of the snowcat and the huge snow groomer started rolling. “In an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr. Renner attempted to retake the driver’s seat,” Balaam said. “Based on our investigation, it was at this point that Mr. Renner was run over by the PistenBully.”

“We believe it was a tragic accident,” Balaam said. “This investigation is ongoing. We do not suspect any foul play.

“After Mr. Renner was run over by the PistenBully, neighbors rushed to help Mr. Renner.” He said the department is keeping Renner and his family in “our thoughts and prayers” as he recovers.

He is overwhelmed with the show of love and support. The family asks that you keep your thoughts up while he heals with his loved ones.”

The Avenger star shared a selfie on Instagram following a traumatic injury after an accident on New Years Day.

“Thank you all for your kind words,” he wrote. “I’m too screwed up now to type. But I send love to you all.”
