On January 2, Marvel actor Jeremy Renner — who has portrayed Hawkeye in a number of films and his own show — was involved in an incredibly frightening snow plow accident. According to reports, Renner was using a Snowcat to plow himself and his neighbors out of the snow, and the machine ended up running him over. The machine weighs more than 14,000 pounds, and Renner was airlifted to the hospital, where he was listed in “critical but stable” condition.
Since the accident, Renner has undergone multiple surgeries on his leg and was also treated for blunt chest trauma.

At this time, it appears that Renner is undergoing a lot of physical therapy. We do not know how long it will be before the Marvel star is up and walking, and we don’t know how the injuries will affect him permanently. However, we are so glad to see and hear that he is on the mend, home with his family, and keeping a positive attitude.
