Marvel star Jeremy Renner is officially out of a second surgery to treat injuries he sustained after running a snow plow over his own leg at his Lake Tahoe ranch.
A rep for the 51-year-old actor told People Monday night that Renner “has returned from surgery and remains in critical but stable condition in intensive care.”
He added that the two-time Oscar nominee “suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries” in Sunday morning’s accident while trying to clear a path out of his Lake Tahoe home in his PistenBully, a type of snow groomer made by the German manufacturer Kassbohrer
The vehicle’s safety features failed, causing it to roll over Renner’s leg about a quarter-mile from his property, TMZ reported. He was flown to the hospital.

‘Mr. Renner was the only person involved in the incident.
