Police seize snowplow vehicle that ran over actor Jeremy Renner’s leg. The star, known for his role as Hawkeye, suffered an accident last Sunday (31) in the US state of Nevada, in which the excavator caused injuries to various parts of the body.
According to the British newspaper Independent, local authorities will investigate why the accident happened. Machines like the one Renner injured are equipped with various safety devices to avoid situations like the actor’s. Therefore, the authorities want to understand whether there was a mechanical defect.
Jeremy’s family said the actor has had two surgeries since he was hired. He is conscious, stable and speaking, but has a long way to go to full recovery.
The police chief of the district where the accident occurred, Darin Balaam, said that a relative of the actor was driving the artist’s car when he prevented passage through too much snow on the road. So the Marvel star steered the snowplow to clear the path.
After clearing the snow where the car was parked, Jeremy Renner would have exited the snowplow to speak to the family member. At that moment the machine would have started to work and the actor would have tried to return to the driver’s seat of the vehicle. In that attempt, the equipment would have run over his leg, causing the injuries.
