TMZ reported that Renner’s neighbours said his snowplow accidentally ran over one of the actor’s legs. The neighbour said Renner lost a lot of blood as a result of the injury, and the outlet said another neighbour put a tourniquet around Renner’s leg until paramedics could reach the scene.

This account of the events doesn’t explain how the actor suffered chest injuries.

The snowplow was towed on Sunday night, several hours after the accident.

During the holiday weekend, the area around Renner’s property in northern Nevada was hit by a storm that left thousands of homes without power.

At least 60 people in eight U.S. states have died as a result of the storm.
