According to the Reno Gazette-Journal, Renner has a home in the area, near Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe, about 25 miles from Reno. The region saw a winter storm hit on New Year’s Eve that resulted in 35,000 homes across Northern Nevada’s Washoe, Carson, Douglas, Storey, and Lyon counties losing power.
Recently, CNN also reported that the actor has posted many pictures of himself in snowy conditions. In one video posted two weeks ago and featured in his Instagram holiday highlights reels, Renner appears to be driving a snow plow with the caption, “pave new paths, holiday adventures.” Another from a week ago shows snow being plowed with the caption, “Nearly done with sledding hill for the kids.”
Renner's representative informed PEOPLE that "his family is with him and he is receiving excellent care." They also said, "Jeremy's family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue, Washoe County Sheriff, Reno City Mayor Hillary Schieve, and the Carano and Murdock families. They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans."
According to authorities, the actor was the only party involved in the incident. The Washoe County Sheriff's Office Major Accident Investigation Team is currently looking into the circumstances.
