Marvel star, Jeremy Renner shares hospital bed selfie, as he thanks well-wishers for their support after snow plowing accident

The Avengers actor, 51, suffered severe injuries on Sunday morning Jan 1, near his Nevada home while attempting to halt the PistenBully machine, which had begun rolling forward after he used it to help free a stranded family member’s vehicle from heavy snow.

“In an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr Renner attempts to get back into the driver’s seat,” Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam told a press conference.

“Based on our investigation, it’s at this point that Mr Renner is run over by that PistenBully.” he added

The actor, who was in critical condition following the accident, has now undergone two surgeries that involved surgeons placing metal pins around his leg.
