Hollywood star Jeremy Renner is in a "critical but stable condition" after being airlifted to hospital following a 'weather related accident'.
A spokesperson for the actor told US entertainment outlet Deadline the 51-year-old was airlifted to hospital on Sunday after the incident, which occurred while he was ploughing snow.
The spokesperson added Renner was with his family and “receiving excellent care”.
While the location of the incident has not been revealed, the two-time Academy Award nominee is said to own property near the Mt Rose-Ski Tahoe resort near Lake Tahoe, which is approximately 25 miles from Reno.

The scope of the storm has been nearly unprecedented, stretching from the Great Lakes near Canada down to the Rio Grande along the border with Mexico.
