Actor Jeremy Renner injured while helping stranded motorist

Actor Jeremy Renner got out of a snowplow he has at his home on the side of a snowy mountain to help a stranded car on New Year’s Day when he was run over by his own vehicle, according to Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve.

A statement from his family released Monday said Renner has blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries and is in the intensive care unit after surgery stemming from the accident near his home on Mt. Rose Highway, 25 minutes from downtown Reno…

“He was helping someone stranded in the snow,” Schieve said. “He is always helping others.”

Schieve said that Renner has helped the community more than most people know over the years.

“He’s always calling and saying, ‘Hey Mayor, what do you need?’”
