“eight ribs broken in 14 places. Right knee, right ankle broken, left leg tibia broken, left ankle broken, right clavicle broken, right shoulder broken. Face, eye socket, jaw, and mandible broken. Lung collapsed. Pierced from the rib bone, your liver — which sounds terrifying.”

Jeremy Renner Pulled Under A Snowplow Trying To Save His Nephew
According to the incident report, while hospitalized on January 5, Renner informed investigators that the incident started on New Year’s Day when he removed his nephew’s truck that was stuck in snow from the actor’s driveway.
The 52-year-old Renner attempted to stop his snow-removal tractor from sliding onto his grown nephew and injuring him, but instead, he was dragged underneath the machine and crushed, according to a report from a Nevada sheriff’s office incident.
The snowcat vehicle, which drives on a track and crushed actor Renner on New Year’s Day, started sliding sideways because the parking brake was not applied, according to a redacted report submitted by the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office on Friday. He had used the vehicle to pull his nephew’s truck out of the snow before the incident occurred.
The conclusion of the report, states, “The Pistenbully snow groomer began sliding causing Renner to exit the vehicle without setting the emergency brake,” and continued,
“Although the Pistenbully had some mechanical issues, it is believed based on our mechanical inspection that the parking brake would keep the Pistenbully from moving forward. When Renner attempted to stop or divert the Pistenbully to avoid injury to (his nephew), he was pulled under the vehicle by the track and run over.”
The report also added, “The brake indicator light inside the snowcat’s cab was not functioning, and “mechanical issues may have been a factor in this accident.”
