What was Renner doing when he was injured?
There have been various reports of what exactly Renner was doing before he was run over by the snow plow.
But, according to Sheriff Balaam’s Tuesday, Jan. 3, press conference, Renner was a “great neighbor” and cleared the houses around him of snow.
Then, at some point, the actor went to retrieve his personal vehicle driven by a family member, which had become stuck in the snow.
Once he managed to tow his vehicle from its blocked location, he got out of the PistenBully to speak to a family member when the PistenBully started rolling.
According to the ongoing investigation, “it was at this time that Mr. Renner was run over by the Pistenbully. An eyewitness said he saw Mr. Renner get into the PistenBully and did not see him again until the PistenBully came to rest in a pile of snow in front of his driveway”.
