Marvel star Jeremy Renner lost a "serious amount of blood" after a snowplough "accidentally ran over one of his legs" in a horror incident, according to new reports.
The 51-year-old actor was airlifted to hospital after he was left in a "critical but stable condition" on Sunday when the safety feature on his Snow Cat plough reportedly failed and sent it rolling over one of his legs.
Now, it has been reported the Hawkeye star had been ploughing the road close to his family property near the Mt Rose-Ski Tahoe resort near Lake Tahoe, which is approximately 25 miles from Reno, Nevada.
Jeremy is reported to have been trying to clear the route out for his family following a "massive storm" on New Year's Eve.
According to reports, a Snow Cat ploughing machine was said to be responsible the actor's injuries, causing him to lose "a lot of blood" and suffer "extensive" injuries to his leg and other parts of his body.

"We're told the area was treated like an active crime scene ... with police arriving at 8pm to impound the Snowcat, which Jeremy's previously posted video of himself using on his property after snowstorms.
"The issue, we're told, is the machine has extensive safety features, and should not have rolled over Jeremy."
Jeremy's representative updated fans on the star's condition earlier on Monday, explaining he is in "critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather-related accident while ploughing snow".
