He later underwent surgery for blunt chest trauma and orthopaedic injuries, with his rep confirming that he is in a ‘critical but stable’ condition.

Taking to Instagram, the 51-year-old revealed his bruised face in a new clip, as he thanked fans for their support.

Jeremy was rushed for medical attention after he was run over by his own snow plow on January 1.

He was taken to intensive care after the ‘weather-related accident’, and was surrounded by his loved ones while he received treatment.

Following the news, a string of his Marvel co-stars were quick to offer their support and hopes for a speedy recovery.

On Monday, his rep offered an update on his health, telling Metro.co.uk in a statement: ‘We can confirm that Jeremy has suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopaedic injuries and has undergone surgery today, January 2nd 2023.

‘He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition.

‘Jeremy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue, Washoe County Sheriff, Reno City Mayor Hillary Schieve and the Carano and Murdock families.

‘They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans.’

In a press conference, Sherriff Darin Balaam said the Avengers actor was assisting a family member outside his home due to the heavy snow fall – when he suffered critical injuries.

Sharing details on the incident, the Sherriff said: ‘On Sunday morning at 8.55am a 911 call was received for a crash, involving a Snowcat vs a pedestrian.

‘The subject has been run over by a Snowcat in the area of Mount Rose Highway.’

According to the ongoing investigation, Jeremy’s personal vehicle had become stuck – so he got on his plow and successfully towed it, before getting off the Snowcat.

‘It’s at this point it’s observed the PistonBully [Snowcat] started to roll, he attempted to get back into the driver’s seat of the PistonBully,’ the sheriff said. ‘It’s at this point Mr Renner is run over by his PistonBully.’

Balaam noted that they didn’t suspect any foul play and that it was a ‘tragic accident’, and wished him a speedy recovery.

Notes from the 911 call were obtained by TMZ, and included harrowing details of the seriousness of the accident.

In the call log and notes, Jeremy is said to have been ‘completely crushed’ by the 14,000-pound Snowcat, and was bleeding heavily from his head and other injuries.

Detailing the accident, he reportedly had ‘extreme difficulty’ breathing as the right side of his chest collapsed and his upper torso was crushed.
