“They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans,” the statement concluded.

Renner was airlifted to the hospital from nearby his Reno, Nevada, home following the freak accident. One of the Oscar-nominated actor’s neighbors later explained that the plow accidentally ran over one of Renner’s legs, causing him to lose a tremendous amount of blood.

Another neighbor who is a doctor managed to place a tourniquet on the “Hawkeye” star’s leg until paramedics arrived to fly him to the hospital.

Local authorities later confirmed Renner was the only party involved in the accident. The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Major Accident Investigation Team is looking into the circumstances.

Renner previously has posted videos and photos of himself using his plow to help his family get out of winter storms once they’ve concluded.

“I have so much respect for Mother Earth, and Mother Nature … I expect to lose the fight but I’ll always give it my best shot #tahoelife life #snowthrower,” he captioned one video of himself clearing a path with his plow in mid-December.
