LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Jeremy Renner, who played Hawkeye in the
Marvel "Avengers" movies and was hospitalized after a traumatic injury
while plowing snow, was recovering on Tuesday and posted an image on his
Instagram account thanking his fans for their wishes.
The actor posted a selfie from his hospital bed in Nevada, showing him
looking bruised with oxygen tubes in his nose.
"Thank you all for your kind words," he wrote on Instagram. "Im too
messed up now to type. But I send love to you all."
Renner's publicist and local officials said on Monday that he was in
critical but stable condition after his accident on New Year's Day. He
"suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries" in the accident,
his publicist said.
Renner, 51, was nominated for an Academy Award for best actor for his
work in the 2008 film "The Hurt Locker," which also won the Oscar for
best picture. He received a supporting actor nomination for his work in
"The Town" from 2010.

Marvel projects as well as in two "Mission: Impossible" films,
"Arrival," and "American Hustle," among others.
Renner has owned a home in Washoe County, Nevada, for several years,
according to the Reno Gazette Journal.

received heavy snowfall on New Year's Eve. The National Weather
Service had a winter storm warning over the weekend in the area.
In a media briefing on Tuesday, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam
said that Renner was run over by a snow plow that began rolling by
itself after he used it to dig his car, which was being driven by a
family member, out of a mound of snow.
Renner used his plow, described by Balaam as a PistenBully that
weighed over 14,000 pounds, to extract the car. He went to talk to
the family member when the machine began to roll.
"In an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr. Renner attempted
to get back into the driver's seat ... it's at this point that Mr.
Renner was run over," Balaam said, adding no foul play was
suspected.
